Does anyone know who might have obsolete harley parts, a friend or an uncle?

Question

I am needing a Hitachi starter housing for a 85 FXR. I have tried all the companies including Harley themself. This is an obsolete part and even the aftermarket companies cannot get this till Sept. If anyone knows anyone that builds bike or has parts laying around please let me know. P.S. ebay does not have this part
