Hi Kevin,

Those parts are new? genuine honda part?

 

[Kevin Lee]

they are reproduction parts for the honda. honda hardly sells these parts anymore, they have discontinued making it when soichiro honda passed away in 1991! back then, old man honda made sure they had parts of every honda model out there, which was not feasible though!
