Do any of you know where I can get these things?

Hey, just wondering if any of you know where I can get these bits;

A heat shield for the downpipes (my trouses are melting!).
One of those wire mesh headlamp protectors (probley not necessery but I think they look cool).
A second hand set of rally hand guards (new ones are sooo expensive!).
Also Im looking for a spare 18inch rear wheel, second hand really as again new wheels cost a fortune! (Im getting sick of having to swap my street tire over to my knobbly everytime I want to go offroad!).

Thanks alot, happy riding!

If you've got any diy skills you could probably make the lot (apart from the wheel!) for under £10. My last headlamp protector was made from a piece of mesh I found in a churchyard. It's worked so far so I probably didn't upset anyone important by taking it!

Cheers. Yeah i was thinking of trying to do the headlamp cover myself, with a wee rack just above it so I could attach something the size of a bum bag to it. But I thought it was worth asking befor hand! Thanks.
