    Nice Fat Cat there! I really enjoy ours and this winter will tear it down for a refresh. I will be going with DC plastics as all of the originals are trashed, for now I figure I will leave them on because my boys are riding it often and well you know boys.

    I did replace the seat cover but it only has the Honda on the sides, did the original have it on the back also?

    It didn't have it on the back. I forgot, the rear tapers too thinly. Also, I have a line on some FatCat side plastics, front fender, and a cracked headlight shroud for $200. Any takers? PM me to set up price and shipping.

I am hoping to do a front disc soon, but those parts are getting expensive.
    I was able to buy an OEM front brake lever, but the rear is discontinued. I wonder if the right would work on the left side flipped upside down.

    The wrong-side flip will work. I have seen it before. Start checking your part numbers for cross-references. Remember, Honda was making these using a lot of the overproduced 3-wheeler parts. You will be much happier with correct parts and they will function better, too. And as I said before, it is only the perches and levers that have to work together. The existing cable will still route correctly.
