Exploded view Micro Fiches

Hai,
WWW.MOTOFICHES.COM

I found this link on the website from Jeremy Andrews (www.pananerica.co.uk) and it is SUPER !!!!!
It has the micro-fiches of most popular bike's... so when ordering a spare-part from abroad you can rule out the chance of a mistake.

I will print mine twice. I keep one copy and the guy who take's care of buisines here has the other copy. When I need him to send me a spare part... I just tell him the partnumber and he can go (with the paper) to the dealer. It's briliant!

Every single part of my bike (AT) is there and it fit's on two floppy's (61 drawings)

Maarten (but the credits go to Jeremy )

PowerSports Pro has an online microfiche facility called 'PartsFish' that is excellent. You need to log in and create an account (free), once you do that you can store up to 5 motorcycle profiles, including model, year, etc. They have all the original manufacturer microfiche.

Apparently Honda has taken legal action and forced the removal of Honda fisches, effective very soon, so if you want anything get it quick.

If you are on friendly terms with your Honda dealer , he may let you take the fiches to be copied .

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
