I have recently used a company called "Factory Outlet Parts" in Ohio to
get original equipment Yamaha parts.  They order them directly from Yamaha
and sell them to me at a large discount (50% in one case) from the dealership 
price.  They are polite, knowledgeable, and have so far been able to provide 
anything I wished to order.  The only drawback is the shipping delay, which 
can be 6 or 7 weeks for parts they don't have in stock.  

I don't have their address here at work, but they advertise in the back of 
"Cycle" and "Motorcyclist" magazines nearly every issue.  Also, there are 
quite a few bike "wrecking yards" advertising used bike parts.  Dealing with 
them might not prove as reliable as Factory Outlet Parts or your dealership,
but they might be the only source for older parts.
