The only thing I can suggest, without taking advantage of the system and upsetting folk, is to go to the relevant post in the sales section where the part is, and ask the seller if they would consider reserving it for you until 50 posts is reached.

As you have 18 posts already, by the time you ask, and then reply with thanks etc, that'll take it over 20. Then, have a surf through the other areas in the forum, get "involved" a bit by posting yer opinions / modification / what fell off on the motorway / washed and waxed it, kicked the tyres and bingo! - 50 posts and reserve part can be claimed!

They're a good bunch of folk on here, and many will be more than happy to help. But, if you "ask someone to ask someone else" and bypass the 50 post rule, that may raise a flag with the moderators....

You can always get involved in yet another round of the "which colour is fastest" game.
That will get your posts up, no trouble.

Unless yours is blue, or red, or tango.........
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Yeah but red bikes are the preference of inbred Grain-ers.. I'd rather have black..

I've also just realised the little colour I have on my V-Strom is red. sh1t.
