Have you tried contacting the manufacturers directly?  If they're available *at all*, usually you can get a lead on how to get ahold of them directly from the manufacturers customer service.  They'll either sell them to you themselves, or they'll be able to help you help a local shop order them.  

 

They very politely tell me they can't help me but check back later! (Later they tell me they can't help me)

It's only been a problem for sixteen years now, I ask every new community I interact with, nobody has been able to help me.

Alpinestars size 50 are definitely not the answer.

I love the Transition series, missed getting a 5 in my size after they got discontinued, but my 4 was awesome until I uh... put some weight on. Whoops.

In theory I'll be able to wear it again, in practice I may not fit into the new jacket I got for long if I don't put down the fork.

I'm a huge Scorpion guy. Right now my main helmet is an EXO-T1200 in hi-viz, I forget what they call the design. I also have a pair of EXO-R410s I got cheap (Like $100 for the pair on clearance) that I switch between for night riding when I don't need the flip down sun visor. One in white with an orange stripe, one in blue with an orange stripe. Haven't touched the white one much but I have a good handful of miles on the blue.

Hi, I've been an on again off again Yamaha rider since 2005 when I bought my first bike, a 2006 YZF600R that lasted until a freak accident (Or an accident with a freak, I'm not sure) that finally wrote it off in 2014. Since then I've had a mix of VFRs and FJRs. Two VFRs, three FJRs. Now I'm riding a Honda NT700V.

I haven't sold any, they just keep getting hit and written off. And someone just vandalized my NT700V so I'm real impressed with the world right now.

Anyhow, I've been looking at the Tracer GT as I still love my Yamahas, and have two of the three sets of OEM panniers still sitting around from my FJRs that I can use on them should I get one. I can't decide if I want to get another FJR though, kind of do... I don't know.

Anyhow, I just thought I'd pop my head in, poke about, chat with people about bikes, and see how I feel as time goes on. I'm not in any rush, I have the NT and it is definitely a great bike, but time will tell.
