I wanna say the cap from an 89 honda accord will work. Not sure about the thermostat though.

I just went to the local auto parts store with the old thermostat in hand and found one that was the same diameter (I believe it's 47 or 48mm in diameter).. Once I found one the same dia. I checked to see if it was going to be deeper set than the one off the bike and it turned out to be the same thickness (I'm talking the top of the thermostat to the bottom of the copper or brass filament in there)..
The only thing to make sure is to keep the old rubber seal that is on the thermostat in case the new one doesn't have it..
As for the rad cap, I believe it's off an 89 Accord or something like Sweekster says.. do a search, it's on here somewhere.. Or it might even been in the FAQ on the Archives..
