Hey guys, ive been searching for post and sites, but cant seem to find somewhere to buy good parts or advice, this looked like a pretty good website...

anywho, my dad has a 77 RD400 that used to be his "baby" hes getting older now, and has let it go, well for his birthday this year its my goal to restore this bike to what it used to be, i think he would love it.

however, i need a place where i could buy parts, possible a motor, but i know the top end is gone on the bike ( i blew it up when i was 13 lol) but i need to replace at least pistons, rings, and gaskets, and brakes...paint and tires also and possibly a new tank, but if yall have a good website yall buy stuff from please help me out, or if anyone knows anyone in the houston area that could help me out with this maybe a shop or someone who has more knowledge then I.

i do work on bikes myself, but not to familiar with this one, i ride an 01 yz 125, been riding motocross since i was a kid.

anyway any advice is great, and i would love to get this done for my dad...thanks in advance.
