Ken, from what I can see on FleaBay parts are about same as the RD's, pretty easy and I would say cheaper too. There are a coupla of NOS and repro suppliers in Singa and Thailand and there is a coupla of wreckers here with one or 2 in stock.
For example a set of new switches both right and left ive seen for about $35 which is def cheaper than RD's
Also, there are later years which can be had pretty cheaply, Southwest Wreckers here in Sydney have a 70's model running and complete for $500 (although its pretty rough) They make cheap fun Bucket Racers.
I went for this one because of the year '67 and I really liked the more retro look.
Oh and also because the guy selling listed it as a SuSuki and not a Suzuki so I think i was the only bidder in the end :-)

What a result if it was the result of a typo! Good luck to you for taking on a more unusual resto.
