Closest I know of is the Bike Hut (http://www.bikehutbristol.co.uk/) in Iron Acton (Bristol) but I'm not sure if they will have what you want...

TL's and most of the ss600's, Nothing specific
Silverlakes do them - quite often see some mingers outside their place in Bevois Valley

There is a car breakers near Gloucester called Twigworth breakers, they usually have approx 200+ bikes at any one time. Plus in terms of parts they literally have hundreds of different forks, engines, boxes of mirrors etc. They have a whole section of the warehouse just piled with bike parts.
Probably too far for you though. Its the kind of place where if you call them they won't have a clue, you would need to go and rummage through their stock.

They let you do your own rumaging?
Sounds like a fun day out. You never know what you might stumble across. What are their prices like?

They seem quite reasonable, mate picked up a wing mirror for his old CBR for a fiver. Quite funny walking around whilst exhaust pipes of all nature are dangling from the roof!!! lol
Silverlake in Soton is the only one that springs to mind, no idea how good they are though.
