What "Type" is my CT?

[ljurgens]

So I need to order the left side air filter cover and decal, don't ask me why...
But there are multiple "Type" and they don't list the color in the listings, what "type" is the USA Organic Pearl Green bike?
Type 1, Type 2, Type 3 ?

Type 1 is Organic Pearl Green in Japan per page 4 of the Japanese parts catalog.

I agree with dmonkey, but got there a different way.
I think you are referring to the left side Garnish Set, Air Cleaner. Looking at these two links:
This one shows the red on a 2022 to be:
https://www.hondapartshouse.com/oemparts/a/hon/62265de887a86615b8a60c01/body-cover
GARNISH SET, AIR CLEANER *R354* (WL) (GLOWING RED) 83650-K2E-A00ZA

This link for the 2023:
https://www.hondapartshouse.com/oemparts/a/hon/6480d77c8707e5eea0053d32/body-cover
has only two types, not three:
GARNISH SET, AIR CLEANER (TYPE2) (WL) 83650-K2E-A10ZA (same ZA color as the 2022 Red)
GARNISH SET, AIR CLEANER (TYPE1) (WL) 83650-K2E-A10ZB (I deduce this to be green and the one you want)

You can order one at your local Honda parts counter and get free shipping.
The 2022 parts fiche shows it comes with the decal already installed, and while it doesn't show it, I bet the 2023 green comes with the decal installed. The decals are cheap, and if you end up with an extra, you can put the extra on your toolbox. Please report back what you find.

Thank you guys, I ended up ordering the following through PartsPitStop.com, I didn't even think of going to my local Honda dealer in Onalaska WI, so I paid the shipping...

So it looks like you got the info you needed...now we want to hear the story!

It's not even a good story, no narly trail or anything fun unfortunately.

We had a huge storm the other night, most likely an EF0 or EF1 tornado but not classified yet and everyone in the neighborhood and town has a lot of siding, roof and tree damage.
I had ridden down a few blocks to ask a neighbor about the contractor they are going to work with and as I was getting on the bike my insurance agent calls, of course at the same time across the street the wood chipper is making a huge racket so I can't hear very well. so I get on the bike and very slowly ride 1 handed (you can see where this is going) down the block toward home, very slow while talking to her... well I went to stop and things went all haywire and I dropped the bike on the curb. So that little panel took the brunt of it and is all scuffed up. The "crash bar" up front got a scuff, but no big deal.

Dumb mistake, and even dumber when its the first time I've ridden any of my bikes without a helmet. I could have just talked to her on my Cardo headset and had 2 hands on the bars... Yeah I should have called her back, but I wasn't sure I'd get her on the phone again any time soon.



My house is just about right under whatever they call this, baseball sized hail hitting the house, I've got divots in my yard 4 inches deep were it just drove into the ground. Siding, roof, fence all need to be replaced... But no one hurt, so all is good.

Over here in Milwaukee we've managed to avoid most of the storms recently. Don't know how or why. Glad that you are safe from the drop too.

It would be nice for us to find a good online dealer to order from site wide that we like. I know for my car I have a single dealer that I go through for OEM stuff out of Chicago. That way they get our business and the ones that don't do well with ordering things can "improve" in that department.

Rockymountainatvmc.com has been my go to for at least a dozen years. Oem stuff in just a few days, free shipping over $75

That really sucks, but the upside is that the panel is fairly cheap and easy to replace. You'll want to get the panel and the sticker at the same time, the panel does not come with the sticker IIRC. A few dollarydoos, some push pins and a 5mm hex key and you should be golden.

 

[ljurgens]

Received my order yesterday, it DID come with the sticker already attached. So I have a spare now, I'll probably see if I can get a can of the organic pearl green and clean up the damaged part, apply the decal and have a spare.
partspitstop did a good job, using my vin# varified the correct part# and shipped promptly.

I kind of thought it would come with the sticker, thanks for the update. I ordered one for the right side, and it had the sticker on it as well.

…. and you should be golden.

Another of those delightful yet puzzling bits of Aussie prose - do you know anything of it’s etymology?

hahaha... I don't think there's anything particularly Australian about it. Australia has a pretty rich history with gold (see the Welcome Stranger et al) so it might have come from that, being golden was about as good as it could be. "Right as rain" is more of a British etymology which would also have applied and would be reasonable to have said in the same context.

I'm pretty sure saying something is golden is also an American term though, Robert Frost has a poem referencing gold in the same context, as does The Outsiders quoting Frost.

We've even got "Golden Boy" tires in the great history of our Honda Trails.

Not to be confused with Golden Boy the anime. Two VERY different things.

And of course Golden Section in architecture and design refers to the visually perfect proportions of 13:8 as espoused by Leonardo da Vinci et al - but I can’t see your average cobber going gooey over the Mona Lisa’s torso measurements …

There's also a silver ratio, which does involve goeyness: it's used to make the perfect taffy machines.

Well now, who knew a 125 would fit down a rabbit hole …

There's a stretch of roadway here in California which, when driven at the correct speed, 'plays' through the tires the "William Tell Overture". I've not tried riding it on my other bike which has Golden Boy tires over it, but now I'm curious what they would play if I rode it there
