New toy

Because it's the season I bought myself a new (to me) toy. It's a Honda XR 600R from 1986.
Now I'm looking for some parts since one of the valve seats has dropped in and killed the piston, damged the head and there is massive pitting on the camshaft.

I'd like to go a little peppier but without breaking the bank- anybody got any connections for parts for this bike?


Thanks!

The best place I have found for parts is ebay.

xrsonly is some kind of xxx rated site for motorcycle enthusiasts. Thanks s cesnick!

The problem with ebay US is that if you need a lot of parts you'll have multiple shipments..
