Rubber Linkage Grommets, Battery Box, Wildfire WFG-200LDB

Hi all - New lurker for a bit while I search the past threads. This is a really cool forum. Thank you for all of the great knowledge here.

Short version: Just bought a Wildfire WFG-200LDB with a brand new title that was never signed over, and less than 3 miles on the bike. It came from a local dealer in East Tennessee that had it in storage as a leftover for many years. I took a chance on it due to the low miles and blank title for $850 Title says it is 2008

Issues: Seller (that I trust very much but may not have full story) said that someone swiped the keys and the keyed ignition cap, so I am in process of buying a new keyed ignition and gas cap set from ebay.

The rubber and some plastic parts on it are dry rotted, so I would like to go through it and replace some of the linkage rubber grommets etc. The battery box was also cracked and needs replacing, and there is also the original tool box in back w tools still in it.

My question: I have read that this is a Hondoid, GY2 Clone w Lifan motor. So, when I search for rubber parts and battery holder etc, should I be searching on Honda? GY2? Or is there a smarter place to look and get stuff that will match.

Examples: long rubber grommets that go on the plastics mounts, the clutch interface (long segmented grommet), battery box, tool box etc.

I will post some pics soon as I go and hopefully help someone else looking for same thing.
