Having no luck

[moehme]

Can anyone tell me where I can find this part? It's for a 1982 GS1100GL.
It's called a "Pillion Rider Handle" (part no. 46210-45341 on all the website fiches) and so far, all of the vintage cycle parts places I've checked say it's no longer available. I've "manufacturing" one myself that doesn't look "to bad" but would like the original if possible.

Thanks

Post a thread in the 'wanted parts' forum. I think you'll find someone has one.

If not, get an engineering shop to quote you on fabricating one. That's a very simple job. It's only a piece of 3/4" chrome tube bent into shape.

Edit: It's probably 1" tube. It's hard to tell from the pic.

i agree with zook, even if you were to find a shop that had one, chances are they are going to ask for far too much for it. see if there are any motorcycle boneyards around, they would be good to check, as well.

These are very hard to find. Took me forever to get one.

I have one from my '82 550L that you're welcome to. I'm not sure if it'll fit, though, because it looks like yours and mine are mounted differently. There are a few pics of mine in my ancient build thread.

Let me know if you want it!

Yeah, check ebay every few days. That's where I got mine, but it did take a few weeks/months

Thanks for the offer but yours looks the same as the one I made (except yours is in much better condition).

Already checked the local boneyards - no luck, and have been keeping an eye on ebay - also no luck.

Will keep looking

Thanks

Not available for my GS1000 either. What a weird part that seems to be out of stock on most bikes. ebay, junkyard, having one made best bet.
