Steve, I think you're on to something!
Don't know how it would work out to
"loan out" parts, but your idea of keeping
a cache of critical parts is a sound one.

On instinct, I've begun to accumulate backups
of parts like tail light assemblies, which,
in their way, could be considered "decommissioning."
I'm soon to order a new water & fuel pump as spares
when traveling--just about the only parts I haven't
swaped pre-emtively--with the exception of a tranny.

Many thanks to listmembers who've shipped spares
to me,  for very fair prices--latest being Bill Kasper,
from Santa Cruz CA (not far from me)--who's sending
a couple grab handles & coat hooks.
Little things mean a lot.

BTW, I could use a dozen curtain hooks & good
a set  of grilles for my '85 Westy.
Anybody have these?
Cheers,
Phaedra
