Charlie,
 
It's probably going to take some digging and cold calling around motorcycle breakers/classic specialists. My experience on elusive stiff like this is that if the guy you call doesn't have it, he can give a number to a guy that might and you work the chain until hopefully you get to the right guy. There are quiet a few classic bike parts dealers in the UK given that you are in Europe.

I need to buy a nipple. Stop the snickering, Larry...
 
I'm trying to get my 1982 Suzuki GS650GLZ running again, and I need a part
that is apparently obsolete.

It's part number 74 in the above link, and is called a nipple. The Suzuki
reference is
 
13685-47080
 
 
 
I've searched rather exhaustively on the Internet and can't seem to find
one. I've tried sending inquiries to junkyards, but haven't had any luck.
 
 
 
Any suggestions on where to find this creature?
