Need to buy carburetor needle valve assembly for 1974 Yamaha Enduro DT400. Does anybody know where I can purchase these parts?

I've made a website for bikers which I would like to share with the members of this forum. It's a website similar to cardomain just for motorbikes instead (no forum). Let me know if I may post it. Thanks in advance.

How do you guys with the old DT's carry your cards? I've got nowhere to carry my Insurance Card & Registration Card on my 1978 DT125, unless i shove em somewhere the sun don't shine. lol. I kind of wanted to build a tiny Luggage Rack to mount behind the seat, something capable of hauling small items : Roll of Welding Wire (for a MIG Welder), Maybe a box of Spark Plugs for a Car, you know that kind of stuff. If I do that, I'll build a Glovebox under it to hold my cards. But until then, anybody have some suggestions?

HI, I HAVE BASICALLY DONE A CBT 125 AND RIDE A YBR125. I WAS WANDERING IF I CARRIED A PASSENGER 200 METRES ON IT WITH WHO HAD NO HELMET ON WHICH I KNOW WOULD BE A STUPID THING TO DO, WHATS THE WORSE COULD HAPPEN TO ME IF I GOT CAUGHT BY THE POLICE? CHEERS.

So at 4:10 this morning I heard a moped and lads talking. They were being loud and not even attempting to be sneaky. I looked out of the window and two of them are sat on the moped and two of them have lifted the cover off of my bike and tampering with it. I banged on the window and shouted at them. I told them they better fuck off or I will come down kick the fuck out of them. One of them threatened to smash my windows and another said "I'll stab you bro." I was shocked, they didn't even run off, they just carried on. I just couldn't believe the cheek of them. Anyway by the time I went out with my baseball bat all 4 of them were on the moped (yes 4 of them) and up the ro…
