Classic twin shock trail bike restoration.

hi all.
currently restoring a pair classic twin shock trail bikes back to there original showroom condition.
both are beamish suzuki's.
one is a 1980 RL250 the other is an 1980 RL325.

the 250 is complete and runs, not bad condition overall, but does need work to make it in some sort of show condition.
the 325 was a complete pile of bits and needs total restoration.

problem I have is this, parts are like hens teeth, even more illusive than classic duke parts.
I've managed to get hold of a large quantity of parts which fit both, but need a piston for the 325 to get the engine back together.
Having tried all known sources to man they are just not around, either as a suzuki part or 3rd party item.
also need to get the frame swing arm and other parts re-chromed.
Is there anyone on this forum who can point me towards a repuitable source for this work.
same situation for the piston and complete wheel rebuilding service etc.
I have seen loads of adds etc for services etc but would be nice to get someone recommded so I know that the end job will be as expected.
any help gratefully recievied.

Rob
