I just aquired 97/100E and I'm in need of a few parts. It has been sitting since 1979 and along the way a few items were robbed from it. Fortunately it does have a few goodies: pointerless kill switch knob and housing, early carb bodies with 66mm choke lever, smooth oil lines, double cut front fender in decent shape, gauges - rough but salvagable, and the 19 liter tank which I think is a biggy. I know my list might get few laughs because of the rarity of some of these (probably impossiblity of finding) but this is the place to ask so here goes.
11mm stem mirrors
Smooth oil lines - The ones I have look sound except for rust on the ferrules. I might be able to save them but would like to get another pair.
Short neck petcock
LH horn - I understand there are options for this in mixing and matching parts from other models
Finless oil filter cover - A couple of options here too, turn one down, Yamiya, so not a show stopper
Now the big one, Lotus Root Exhaust
I understand that in the last 5 years Yamiya has made 2 batches of them on request (50 and then 10?). Anyone interested in getting on a list for another order? Maybe the market is saturated. Or did anyone buy a couple sets and be willing to sell one? Worst case I would just use a no number set.
Any suggestions for restoration tricks or other alternatives would be greatly appreciated too. I realize I may not find these right away, if at all, but I won't be able to get started on this project for a couple of months (one to finish up first) and I'll be needing some smaller bits along the way but I might as well get started.
Thanks,
Mark
