Only financially!!! They suffer from failing front CCT's so to avoid expensive valve/piston interface you can either replace with manuals or do a mod on the Honda autos which stops them retracting too far if the spring goes pop. The poor option is to do nothing or replace with stock Honda items.
The other issue is the reg/rec on early models. Best replaced with either a finned later models version or alternative manufacturers item.
Have a good read through the workshop section.

Welcome to the forum.

I don't know about that.

New Honda ones would be more expensive than manuals and certainly more expensive than a stop mod.
