Default where to buy salvage bikes?

I am looking to buy an 09-11 touring bike that has been slightly totaled Anyone know where these can be bought?

Basically, I am looking for engine, drivetrain, all electronics and wiring. I figure I will have to get a frame and most of the tins. My intent is to build the bike from the frame out. Just want the basic parts so I don't have to buy that stuff.

I talked to a couple of guys on the road who bought salvage title bikes from Copart.

I've done a lot of looking at salvaged bike's. Most of what I found were way to much money.

www.kimmotor.com was a decent site
