Salvage bikes 6 Months ago  
Does anyone on here know of anywhere that has or deals in salvage bikes? There are plenty of salvage yards/parts groups for cars. I don't know of any that stock pile damaged or salvage bikes.
With winter time approaching, it would be great to get my hands on something that needs to be rebuilt.
With all the floods and earthquakes and natural disasters occuring all over the country, One would think there would be thousands of bikes insurance adjusters simply write off.
Do they simply send them to the crusher too quickly for anyone to grab or is there an inside track where they are grabbed before the general public knows they are out there?

Check out CoPart.com. They've got a few R*'s on there right now. You will need to become a member to bid, and they have a section that doesn't require a dealer's license to buy. Complicated to explain, but you'll figure it out once you get there.

Re:Salvage bikes 6 Months ago  
might also try www.crankyape.com they have wrecked bikes and repos. I bought my current MH thru them as a repo. Saved about 40G's.

They have several HD's and even a set of HD bags that are bid at $65 right now. Think there is a V star there too.

www.Autocyclers.biz. They sell salvage bikes. Some with little damage and clean titles. I got my R* (salvage title) from there. Nice guys.

Just a reminder slamllic, check with your insurance company; sometimes it is hard to get good coverage on a salvage titled bike!
