For Sale - please help...WANTED: shifter lever

[PIRATEGINGER]

hey guys, i am having a hell of a time trying to find a shifter lever for my '78 XS400 (D or E)...none of the aftermarket places are any help, and even the dealer said they "can't get anything". i really am finding no help at all where i live, so i am turning to the place i should've looked to first!
i live in Nova Scotia Canada, so is there anyone who has one "close by"?? or even does someone know the shaft size (so i can find a suitable alternative)?
email please dduinker at hotmail dot com
thanks

The part is not exclusive to that year: http://www.partzilla.com/parts/detail/yamaha/YP-2L1-18111-00-00.html
Partzilla is your friend. So is ebay.
There are a few on ebay. Just make sure you do not get one for the DOHC bikes, 1982+.

aircooled rd stuff will fit as they share the same shaft

"aircooled RD"? (sorry, new to bikes)...

He's talking about the Yamaha RD400 like in BBS360 link:
1976 RD400C SHIFTER 2
1977 RD400D SHIFTER 2
1978 RD400E SHIFTER 2

I have one from a 1980 that should fit. How about $10 plus actual shipping?
Not mint, but not bad. I will have to take it off the bike. I can send pics if you want it.
