Hard to find Suzuki parts?

[PunkRockMonkey]

I'm trying to dig up some pieces for my '74 TS400. Ideally, a new muffler/secondary muffler(silencer?) and wiring harness.

I've been sourcing part numbers from Partzilla lately, and it's been great for finding what parts have been superceeded by new ones, then finding them on eBay.

My question is, does anyone have any super-secret source for NOS parts for Suzuki dual-sports/two-strokes? I've checked BikeBandit & the like, but they're all pretty much just the same as Partzilla (generic nuts, bolts, etc.)

My "pristine barn find" has some typical age issues, such as anything that was made out of rubber is dried, cracked, falling apart, or just plain gone. Oh, and a giant rust hole from water pooling in the bottom of the exhaust. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Have you checked with the guys on 2strokeworld? Thumpertalk might be another one to check. If they don't have the parts, some of those guys can tell you the cross-reference on what else might work. For new, HVCCycle has a lot of older 2-stroke parts as well, might be worth searching their site or calling.

Hey PRM,

You may enjoy this ADV thread, and there may
be some people posting on it who can
give you a lead ... not your 400, but the same
year Suzuki two-stroke enduro resto ...

see you around the campfire,
