First Ride on my 96 Pacific coast
Written by alfr4d on 3/14/2012 at 06:04 pm

Yes it is the Windscreen section. CMSNL has clear fiches for each year Pacific
Coast. This is for the white 89 model. NH251P is the Pearl White color code.
CMSNL is here in The Netherlands in the polder.

.html

Yes one could order the whole mirror ( for euro 306, number 12 ) but unavailable
here, nevertheless all other parts are and should add up to the same. When you
want the whole right mirror assembly do a search for part number 88110MR5870ZA
or 88110-MR5-870ZA

The plug before the socket of the lamp is part of the wire system and not to be
gotten anywhere in motorcycle world, only as part of the big cable tree. The
cable to the lamp should be brought to reside between the break-away units, not
pushed back into the fairing where there is more room. Thus making the metal
break away cable shorter than the cable with the plug.

A new mirror will have two parts that may not fit. The outer-shell has thin
stems for screws because the outside is broad or under an angle and the black
attachment plate is flat. The plastic stems in-between, where the screws fit in,
are not equally long (and have their own screws). You should make sure the
openings on the black plate are right above these stems when you fit everything
together. This will require quite some extra work to be done, widening the
openings to the desired shape, so that the screws will turn straight in.
Greetings. Alfred

I am sure that what I say here is not going to surprise any of the readers that lurk on this board. I am in essense, "preaching to the choir". I did a lot of research before I bought my PC and poured over many varied opinions. I am

    Preach on Ben, preach on! I love the sound of a good choir because I think so many of us did the same thing. We raved, we bragged and we exaulted over the efficiency and smartness of our PCs. I'm still in awe at the design and &quo

      The brakes may get better with use. It may be safe to assume you new PC sat unused for a while. The pads may be hard and glazed, especially if the previous rider never braked hard. Secondly, you do have to get used to non-integrated braking a

    Ben, Try running 38-40 front tire pressure and 40-42 rear tire pressure, that seems to be the best on the PC and also on the Wings. Check your brake pads and see if they are Honda OEM, they seem to be the best on the PC. Many peopl

      I keep hearing this statement and trying to figure out where is comes from. The power curve is nearly ruler flat from 2 grand to 6.5K. It increases by NO MORE than 3 ft-lbs between those RPMs. Its got gobs of low end torque. While there is so

      It is not a good idea to try to ride your bike onto the tilted trailer when there is a 4 inch rise and you can't touch the ground. Said another way : Those 23 year old mirrors really DO explode when they bike goes down fast. Mirror housin

        The mirrors for the PC are one of the few "mistakes" on this bike....difficult to find and very expensive. I highly recommend Mr. Pacrat's modification. I think he has the finest mirror setup in the PC kingdom. I plan on

              Just as a follow up. Honda Canada had the mirror for $275 and it was backordered until at least May. Service Honda $200 + $15 shipping to Alabama $25 to repackage and ship to me as used parts. $240 total. Yes high but at least it w
