What is the rocking horse part for your bike?

The original non chamfered exhausts for an early Ducati Monster. Hey ground out too easily / too early so Ducati soon added a flAt spot to the front of the can. Early ones are like hens teeth....

Any fairing panel except for the infill ones next to the tank or behind the wheel. Blue and white colours are not a problem but the grey and black ones don’t seem to crop up on eBay very often, I can only see one tail pod on my colours on there at the moment. Unless I buy one of the full fairing Chinese kits.

My bike is almost 10 years old.

I bought it with aftermarket slipons (only mod). Trying to find a stock FZ6 muffler system is like a needle in a haystack.

Sourcing the original so potential re-sale value is higher with both sets of pipes!

probably not quite fitting the remit of the thread, but I have an Adventure Spec carry rack for my Honda CRF, and I lost a spacer, and I contacted the company that supplied it, and they can't find me another one, and so the search continues.

pre diversion xj900 - try finding a petrol tank that isn't leaking from the seams at the seat end thanks to the tap not being the lowest point... Cheers Yamaha.

stinkwheel Well I just had my hands up a pigs fanny. Which makes your concerns pale into insignificance.

On the CB1300 it is without a doubt the radiator. OEM costs a fortune, and all the ebay cheapies are, without exception, made to fit the earlier '98-'02 Japan-only model.

When mine went tits up I spunked the money to have one custom-made, and it still turned out cheaper than the ugly piece of shit that Honda want 600 quid for.

Genuine Yamaha pre EXUP FZR1000 stuff here.

The red stripe decal on the rear seat cowl on the White/red/blue Pre EXUP FZR1000 is impossible to get. Ive never seen one for sale anywhere. I'm probably going to have to make one from vinyl if I can find a good enough match.

The rear seat cowl is getting very expensive to buy even second hand.

The rear light surround is unavailable new and usually broken second hand, the vertical parts are very thin and snap easily, I blagged one from Belgium for £25 delivered in perfect nick, happy days when that arrived as described.

The FZR pure sports decals and the two decals either side of the headlights are difficult to get without resorting to the USA and all of the customs charges that brings, if they get delivered at all, there's only one thing worse than paying £60 for two simple decals, and that is spending £60 on two simple decals and finding that they have been lost in our wonderful postal service. Not happy about that one at all.

Of course these are the things we have to deal with when trying to restore a bike that's more than 30 years old.

Probably genuine fairings impossible to get from the dealers. I see them in their online shops as 'unavailable'. Ebay and used parts market is not very promising either. So I better keep my bike upright.

I haven't been able to find suitable tassels for any bike I've ever had.

It is getting very hard to find a TRX850 alternator cover that doesn't have a hole in it, as it's the first thing to touch down if the bike has a sleep on its left side. This is one of the few parts of the motor that is not the same as the TDM, different holes drilled out for the different gear linkage. I finally found one that was merely scraped half way through, slathered it with Araldite and gave it a quick spray of paint - you can barely tell Whistle

Straight headlight brackets and original fairings are getting hard to find too.

Finding a CBX250RS petrol tank that doesn't leak is impossible too.
