While you're searching on ebay. Look for Honda CX500, or CB500 parts. GSXR r/r's are good too. You want one off a WRECKED bike, not just a bike that's getting parted out. "parted out" bikes tend to be dead for some reason... typically electrical failure leading to carbs guming up and then the owner giving up.

Anyone around chicago know where I can get a quick, reasonably priced r/r asap? I ordered one from ebay over a week ago but the guy hasn't gotten back to me (5 info requests) -so I think I'm getting the screws there. I've had a long-planned ride on the docket for this weekend and I'd love to make it. I'll probably get one from Duanage if I can't scrounge up any luck.

until next weekend or so Nerobro still lives with me. I'll take a look and see if I can find one floating about. I thought he bought an extra one and had it on his desk but I've been wrong before.

Getting close to making my ride tomorrow. Hopefully the bike is still on the side of the road, just need help figuring out where the red and greens wires go.
