I'm fixing up my bike now during winter, ready for when March and spring comes again.
One of the buckles (think that's what it's called) broke shortly after I bought the bike.
Now I want to replace it, but I don't know if it's possible to find a spare one.
See the pictures.
Anyone know where I can find one?

Yes, I know. I've got that suggestion before, but I rather see if it's possible to get hold of one OEM first. It's so nice 'cos it says Honda on them, I kinda like that.

But if that's not possible, I guess I have to live with one missing or replace them all.
Talk to a honda dealer to see. Otherwise search eBay

I know what you mean about OEM buckles. I have that some kind of obsession. I have a set of vinyl bags with vinyl straps. The buckles are metal and still good. To replace the straps I went to my local Goodwill to look for leather belts.

Check with Tandy Leather, they have many styles of buckles. I am sure no Honda buckled but you will probably search high and wide to find one and then pay a pretty penny for one when you find it.

I will measure it as soon as I can. I have a friend going over the sadle bags, cleaning the leather etc. But as soon as I get them back I will measure them.
And no, the broken - or missing bucklet - are not in the picture.

Hi Again

Now I got my saddle bags back. The size of the buckle are approximately 1.38" x 1.57" (35mm x 40mm).
The ones you have, is it the like the original on my pics and the right size I would love to have one or two (as a spare).

Found a belt buckle which is 1-5/8" it fits a 1-3/8 wide belt....
As I was looking I thought >> You can go to the "Dollar General" store belt rack and find the one you need, so I quit looking for dog collars...
NO I ain`t got a pile of `em...
They`re all over, hanging on nails, twigs, door knobs and wherever I swapped it out...
I`ll resume to find one closer in width if you like or I`ll mail you this one IF you want, I cut it off...

Where there`s a will, there`s a WAY,
Dennis.

EDIT>>
How wide is that leather strap?

Looking at your picture, I`m guessing 1" strap...
I measured the inside of the buckle, at the strap...
That 1-3/8 belt fits inside the 1-5/8" with plenty of room to spare...

Dennis

One collar measured 1" strap and fills the buckle...

The strap is about 24 mm wide.
Do you have a picture of the buckle you have?

I laid a 1" wrench and a 24mm together = No match

Then I laid a 15/16 wrench up to it = MATCH ;)
SO, I reckon your strap the buckle fits is ABOUT 15/16" ??

I`ll find a 15/16" buckle on one of these collars I imagine...

I got plenty,
Dennis

Dollar store sells cheap collars of all sizes
