Default Softail salvage

Anyone know of a good place to get salvaged softail parts?

I saw a huge pile of parts at my dealers shop. They said they destroy all the parts. I dont believe them!

Got me thinking....there has to be a good salvage "store" around. Anyone know of any good online places?

Also, does anyone know of a cycle salvage yard near atlanta.

Thanks all

check, copart.comhttp://www.copart.com/c2/motorcycle_...h_results.html

Might just be entire motorcycles, but it depends on what you are looking for. I bet you could buy a wrecked bike for a bit of cash and pull some decent parts off it.

Just remember the VIN of the frame (not sure of the engine part number) is registered in the DMV as a salvage title code. It might be better to strip the good stuff, then sell the frame for scrap.

There is a big motorcycle salvage business in NC. Don't know too much about it but have heard about it before. Do a search and they might just be what you need. I'll look a little more into it myself.

A guy on eBay used to sell take offs and used parts he bought in bulk from the local dealerships. He just happens to be 20 min's from my house so scored some goodies cheap. Due to the economy and terrible sells at the dealers, they now put the stuff online them self. Check the usual, eBay and CL.

May help to let us know what exactly you are looking for.

Also consider Cycle Warehouse in Butler, Pa. (724) 282-7278. Ask for Chris, the owner.
