Did that advice help?

A warm welcome from me too.

Alex lives on the other side of the planet so you need to take that into account regards to his replies!

Hi Michael, welcome in, with two posts already to your name, you can consider yourself a regular!!! Its a bit quiet here these days!, Nonetheless, the answer to your question is in two parts, firstly on the top right is the search function, typing in NOVA will bring up previous posts from others seeking the same question, then secondly, they tend to point you to this website for your answer. https://www.motorbikeregistrations.co.uk/ hope that helps .

Well done, thats an amazing job!! really nice to see, Having restored my bikes (not recently) they do have a tendancy to becomeing WEB's !! Wallet Emptying Barstewards!! So your rebuild wasn't cheap, but money well spent. Congratulations Shaun

Ahhh yes I see the pin now!!! didn't spot it!! makes sense, that its the first post AFTER the pinned posts....As an alternative possible solution? maybe the pinned posts could have a subtle coloured background panel as a visible indicator. something like that? ...just a suggestion.

Well, as some of you may have noticed, there have been one or two slight, minor, hardly noticeable changes to the Forums... Nope hadn't noticed any changes!🤣🤣 Here's one for you Alex, having just posted , if you go to the Bar, and sort into Recently Updated, then this topic should be at the top of the page...but it's not! 😆 ..and its not just restricted to the bar.... I've replied to the topic from Dutch and again its not sorting with the most recent post at the Top.

Thought that was going to be a happy ending!! 🤣

Where as.....I'm older than I look!!😂

Because I looked on ebay at the Lithuania one, the seller offered it to me for £40. I thought it looked in reasonable condition for the price. Presumably George must be busy as he hasn't been back to view this topic, hopefully he won't miss out.

Hi there, firstly welcome in George. Secondly not much to go on... which country are you in? The site is Worldwide. The owner/publisher of this website is in Australia. Members are in the US, UK and everywhere else! Which year FzX750 have you got? I see they are listed on CMSNL as 1987 to 1993. and on ebay.com sellers list them as 1986-1987. You're looking for bike parts that are over 30 years old, are you looking at OEM parts or parts that will fit ? If you live in the UK then I found two abroad..... I see there is one in france...£150 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/276845779353?_skw=fzx750+headlamp&itmmeta=01JKR5JM9AKFTJ4PCSG3335X7N&hash=item40754b5999:g:45UAAeSwC4NnpLRm&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA0HoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKk%2FSU3oRjaca0qaMjgpHhgXG%2FDGCYwDwnPZF6QLV5FxbPmREunxQXDeykUM91nsEcc7rjjZf%2FqAWiNEiFFwVL4XFGi23xd1EtPw9tp2gQMSzxe%2BIFEVyawcllwl8pDZ1s6DEEzzcmbTJyk7euc2gDbDzPK2nZkREaP%2BdhN4RPn1e%2Fafzlchpkrv52cezKDff3RiEOogJa%2BT1SAmLBTsx6h2LI4pEoqga6yMiZdBnU98W3zaxWjfn4vrNE9sokHBZik%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR_DEyoWeZQ and another in Lithuania for under £50 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/304754105332?_skw=fzx750+headlamp&itmmeta=01JKR5JM9DK7FKD5ANVSPREBGX&hash=item46f4c29bf4:g:c48AAOSwpotivgsZ&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA0HoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKkSAJzo5n5taTf7qnX1ydWk3oQQnhKxvE4E30QzoFIy1Be9uTKAcSkMreiy9aYnxpLTWfd3ziJaJsS3GQVdd%2B0g6Uw%2BGeIhOpufouGx7K5dRGdXWe%2BJMeAL2T0ePgXDQc0qVXogyB7rzAq406Ej9tBoBjKRlU%2F6BQWvgQc%2BpwMfGlzW3lT2HFymLu0iHmjhiBmm5n2bTM9aFsHRS2pgFTjtjgsky0s0U%2B6Vao5DsWWXdscZpTnTyamzW9ubtUH%2BWgk%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR_rEyoWeZQ But if you live in the US, then yes the postage will be much higher. Hope that helps.

Rubber parts are often the most expensive parts of a bike thats for sure!! I see Fowlers have them on ebay! as you say not cheap £53 each!! but they do list them, heres number 2, the others are listed also. i guess you've probably seen them. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/362541278424?fits=UKM_Make%3AYamaha&_skw=yamaha+fj1200+air&epid=23026296538&itmmeta=01JKNBCV502QQ7R7N5H5VQQ5QG&hash=item546924e4d8:g:NuYAAOSwaZdmAunf&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA0HoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKl3Z%2BXqmaqMUuOecYnyH3yb2U7p421Z4QDd7Qsn%2BoKPW2MIik4O6ekDqbd%2BjkKJYGCJxc0ulj9M7BwWufGD7txEYpLOUB5S3msnSYktZlZ55PKkz9LzFJWA1VDFwpJWP60ns0uQViKNFuCGKwZa3QwAENwgiLwIUzjiHU4R%2FelXKQkZEJrYXo9wL5GQZ05oeVBpPUQ3OXMiHTG%2F6nAZ8Wn4upsKfbog5vVsUY8PNbHawNOGw1E6NB0gUkQZESKfBfk%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR-ays6udZQ

yeah its odd Dutch but...'oil' air filters are, instead of paper elements to trap the dirt particles, oil is used over a wire mesh like steel wool to trap the dirt particles. The proper name, is Wet air filters and Dry air filters. Replaceable Paper elements were first introduced in the 60's/70's for cars and it wasn't uncommon to have the early model versions of the car with Wet air filters and the later production ones being Dry filters, now of course they are all dry. With paper filters you replace the paper element, and with oil filters, you wash out the wire wool part and replenish the oil. Both require maintenance to remain effective at trapping the dirt. ...and oil tends to get outside of the filter and the once clean looking chrome/steel, ends up being black and dirty and require cleaning !!....but at least they won't rust!! I notice on your two ebay links, the first one has a black sock to cover them up and hide them!! whereas the second link shows nice steel wire/mesh without oil, that will look black after they start doing their job and only look nice and shiney on the first day!!🤣

I know about standard bulbs on bikes but not LED's, so go with Snakes posts for advice, however, i did a search on the forum using the search feature at the top and found quite a bit, but this post may be of some help, especially as snake also mentioned the bulb on the dashboard. see the last entry in this post.

That is good news Digger. Warped new plates who would have thought it?! Glad you're back on the road. Happy new Year to you, Safe riding. 👍
