The wisdom on 495's is at the Unofficial KTM 495 website...go to Home, Links, and click there. For out of the ordinary old bike rods in the US, Euro-rods will have them or will direct you where best to look: [email protected], phone 561-383-8820, fax 561-383-8821. //www.euro-rods.com

Good luck.

John,

Try this fellow //[email protected]  He is in Europe, not cheap, but may be the only guy who can help you.  His name is Reinhard Schrem.  He does alot with 495's.
