Needing a 1st Gen plastic cassette raincover

Posted this in "Want to buy" classifieds. Probably shoulda posted it here for better response.

 

Anyway, I'm looking for a 1st Gen plastic cassette raincover for my 1988VR.

Any ideas where I can find one?

There probably aren't any venders offering new ones, are there?

Thanks for any help.

Yamaha Part # 26H-88153-00-00. $22.46 at www.cheapcycleparts.com.

 

Since I don't have any cassette tapes I decided to just let weather hit the player.

And it absolutely amazes me that folks will bid way over that amount for a well used one on Ebay.....

Last time I looked BikeBandit.com had them for around $30.00 NOS.

It is item #47 on the schematic, listed at $28.86. When you go to this link click on the audio equipment box and it will bring up the schematic.

Thanks guys.

 

I appreciate the info.

 

Everything on this bike is in fantastic condition and I plan to ride it on trips and let the Millenium rest a bit.

 

My trips almost...(O.K. insert honesty here) always conjure up rain, so I just wanted to get the cover in case.

 

And I do still have a selection of cassettes that still play well.

 

I'd like to figure out a way to install a plug-in for my MP3 (like the MM) at some point. Any of y'all ever add an MP3 port to a 1st gen system?

[Condor]

They used to make a cassette insert with a plug to your CD player. They might have something to work with your MP3. Time marches on... except with Yamaha....

I have a cassette cover that I could have sold you listed in the classifieds ...

It comes with the bike.....

[Beau-Kat]

Good answer, Skid!

 

Now that was funny...like I need another bike. But, I'm always tempted.

 

I probably oughta start thinning some of the rides outa my herd.

 

But the're all just so darn cute and they give me a lotta love.

They actually make a cassette that holds an sd card loaded with music, just pop it in your player and you are good to go. Craig

Sent you a PM with the link, hope it works:fingers-crossed-emo Craig

The unit is a cheesy looking thing, but it works just fine, I used it for quite awhile till I got my gps with mp3 built in. Nice part is no wires. It plays random like the shuffle, worked for me:080402gudl_prv:

I did a google search for SD Cassette> and came up with all sorts of hits. Looks like they retail for anywhere between $15.00 to $30.00. Very cool....
