Welcome to the site.
Copious amounts of a particular bourbon can make a great therapist.
A magazine called Classic Motorcycle Mechanics lists lots of places that can supply used or NOS parts. The mag has run articles on DIY wheel building, soldering and such like. It can also help with people who can supply services like painting, chroming etc.
Which Benly have you got?
Cheers
Grizzly

it's a cd200

and it's been sat in the rain for 2 years, never seen one before and I thought it was a stroker!! ???

Anyway, I had to rescue it, otherwise it would probably have disolved in a few years time.


They do fetch more than £50 I hope  :D
