Here's what I found and I ordered 4 of them. They are in the UK and you have to wait about 3 weeks to get them. But hell, to me that's much better than paying the inflated prices for them here in the states. They order them directly from the factory and cost is a little more than $17 each plus shipping. My total including shipping was just over $80 for the four covers. https://www.davidsilverspares.co.uk/parts/by-part-number/hpart_21333MZ0A00/Just thought I'd throw that out there. |

I have one wrinkled (81K) and one perfect (52K).
Since they wrinkle and Honda has decided to stick us with an exorbitant price, I will run my wrinkled one forever. (it matches my forehead)
My bikes are 15yo and both show some wear. I try to keep them clean and shiny but I'm done spending for perfection (other than mechanical).

I have ordered stuff from them before, and shipping here to the states at that time only took about a week. Rainmaker, let us know how long it takes to get them here. T.P. told me the one on the Interstate I'm flying up to Minn. to get is starting to bubble. |

And takes 5-7 days for them to get it. |

I'd like to know what the justification was for driving the price up like they did in the first place. It was almost an overnight jump if I remember correctly.

A YEAR AGO, THEY WERE $45 ON HONDA DIRECT PARTS, AND $24 AT PINWALL.....NO MORE.
ONLY ONE I'VE SEEN RECENTLY AT PINWALL WAS CRINKLED WORSE THAN THE ONE I HAVE.
THINK I WILL ORDER SOME.
ok....placed my order for 3 of them
SO HOW DO WE STOP THE CRINKLES? IS IT HEAT FROM THE ALT? WHAT ABOUT SPRAYING SOME COATS OF SPRAY CAN UNDERCOAT ON THE BACK SIDE OR ATTACHING SOME FOAM INSULATION?

They are good people over there across the pond. I imagine they figured out something was up with all the sudden orders for the cover. Oh well, everyone please keep me updated on your order fulfillments.

That's what I fear. I got one from jolly old England (another company, however) a few months back -- took at least 6 weeks to arrive. Definitely the Honda OEM, not a reproduction. Funny thing, the label says part number 21333-MZ0-A00 Made in the U S A !!! OK, so the part is (or was) made here, but when shipped over the pond and then shipped back it still costs dramatically less than it does in the country of manufacture.  Smells fishy. I think if Mother Honda bumps the price over pond, we should call her greedy ass out on this one. |

The ones I ordered from the link I posted read "Made in USA" also (see photo above). And I wondered the same thing. But I'm not complaining nor asking anyone why. The 4 I ordered and received will last me the life of my Valk.

Ken there was a thread earlier where Skinhead, I believe, mentioned getting some heat resistant tape from the auto parts store to put on the backside of the cover. I think I'm going to try that trick and see how it works out. |

Great news! They're scratching their heads over in GB trying to figure out why they've suddenly gotten orders for 65 alternator covers. It's your fault, Xtracho!! But we thank you for it! He he he....I was thrilled when I found them and even more so when the covers arrived. This forum and its members have been a Godsend for me as I climb the learning curve with my Valk. Kind of glad that I am able, in some small way, to pay it forward to you guys |
