Can you post a picture of what you are looking for as I may have one here in BC and it won't break the bank on you. Steve
I took the "Short Bus" to school because they told me it was faster.....what did they tell you ?

If you can't find a Honda tail that suits your build i would suggest a tail from LPM.
Obviously paint is required but these replacements tails and side covers are beefier than stock and fit well.
There are usually some for sale on E-Bay from various sources, if you can't get them direct. I had them on a '79 and was very happy.

I have never seen a David Silver repro so i can't offer an opinion on them.
The LPM do come with a pre-drilled step on the underside for the latches.

I don' even use the latches because that is what causes these tails to crack in the first place. I also cut down the rubber bumper.
