I know, believe me I know. I was lucky with my own which spent two years out in all weathers in London before I bought it.
Had to replace the lot, valve had bent inside, pulley was a rusted mess, lucky found most bits for sale the states and got complete set of stainless downpipes pipes (early ones were all stainless including the EXUP section) with everything including exup servo and cables.
$250 which was about €200 at the time Plus €50 postage
I did manage to get the original out without breaking anything. Drilled all bolts out without trying to open them with left hand drill bits. :thumbup
Valve and housing is now a spare as I got a machine shop to straighten it.
