My dad and I are restoring his 81 490, we have completed the tear down and are starting to gather parts so if anyone has any good places to look we would be thankful. I’ve already used google to locate some motor parts but it seems like the hardest thing to find is parts for the bing carb and spokes and suspension parts. Thanks for the help!

The only part I have been unable to find is a replacement float for my original Bing carburetor. Luckily, the original 40 year old float continues to function properly.

Go with Buchanan spokes. The OEM spokes kept coming loose on my 490 and I had a hard time keeping them tight. Buchanan spokes fixed that issue for me.
