Try a local dealer. 2008 parts are still being made... it's not like your bike's from 1948. Worst case scenario, you buy a 2nd hand 2008 klx 140 which you can use for parts, e.g. http://www.cycletrader.com/search-result...
That would be a good place to start looking.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
