I can't find a website that sells parts for a 1981 and 1982 Yamaha Maxim 550. I need a front blinker set (with arms) for the 1981 and a front blinker set (with arms) and headlight with a stay for the 1982. Can someone tell me where to get these, and which other years/models are also compatible with the 2 said bikes? I have had zero luck on ebay. Also, how much is a reasonable price for the parts listed?
I really appreciate the help, Thanks from a first time owner/rider.

If you can't find them on the open market, try these guys:
mcsalvage.com.
He has many used parts from the '70s & '80s.

Try an ebay search for 'XV550' or 'XV750' (as many parts on the 750 are the same as the 550). If you're willing to buy from the UK then your bike is known as a 'Virago' over here. Good luck!

I've always had pretty good luck with bike bandit for both older and newer bikes.

Have you tried to order them from a Yamaha dealer?
Yamaha's web site shows them as in stock.
