Andy, that's what I meant!
Even though I don't know you in person, I appreciate your availability and your efforts to help others. Hats off to you!

I've been studyin' english since I was 8 y.o. and I've always loved to be able to speak it.
BUT I have to confess that sometimes I use (or abuse...) the google translator... A little help in case of needs is always welcome, no matter from!

- January 14, 2018, 12:48:20 PMMarco: I'll take that as a compliment, but I have done a lot of late night surfing on different web sites and I can not tell you the number of times I thought I found a part to have it refused because the item is no longer in stock......what a let down.....
Now RockingRolly knows me we have met a few times, in fact I drove 5 hours each way in a day to go and get parts from him for Rendezvous 2017 that he was donating. I actually got to sit in his living room, met his wife and the royal treatment I got to met his dog. Then I was shown his garage and was allowed to look and touch his bike. I was not allowed however to sit on it.......

- January 13, 2018, 12:27:47 PMmittico I have tried ordering parts from that site, about a day or so after ordering Drifter parts I get a sorry can not fill your order your funds have been returned. Lots of sites still advertise Drifter parts but they do not have any.
I go into every Kawasaki shop I pass and ask if they have anything tucked away and if so can I buy it or at least have a price on it.
Every swap met or bike event where things are for sale I will hunt through the piles looking for anything. I have found a few items this way and sold them to members who are hunting for them and I only ask for my shipping charges. Lots of fun hunting for parts, and I also watch Kijiji......
So really consider that you have the Unicorn........I think the hardest parts for an 800 are, sissy bar with the back rest, the front fender guard, and the speedo visor. I have not seen many of any of these around in a long time.......
