dr_bar Posted August 1, 2010 #1 Posted August 1, 2010 In the past with other bikes I've owned, I always came up needing a part that's near impossible to find. After months of searching for some parts, I came across a couple of motorcycle "Wreckers" in the Greater Vancouver area. Unfortunately, one closed it's doors, but the other is always busy with people looking for what they need and the owner helping out whenever possible. That second location is a business called "Bent Bike" located in Langley BC. I thought it would be a worthwhile thread for people to list any recyclers in their area to form a resource for those looking for parts for their aging bikes. For example, I walked in the door today and hanging up in the rafters is the left side saddle bag for an '84 Royale, no lid was visable but apparently they have a lot of other plastic from that bike. I'll put the contact info below and if the powers that be find that this isn't a good idea, feel free to delete this thread, (or make it a sticky if it's worth it...)

Marcarl Posted August 1, 2010 #2 Posted August 1, 2010 I think that would be a worthwhile forum, maybe somebody important will read this thread and then create one, just 'specially for: Cycle Wreckers, or Cycle Recyclers, or Parts Bikes, or Older Than Dirt, or maybe just Used Parts.
Freebird Posted August 1, 2010 #3 Posted August 1, 2010 In the upper menu bar is a link named "Links". It's a page that just seldom gets used. Any member can post a link in that section. It is the perfect place to list such salvage yards and I just created a special category right at the top of it for Salvage Yards and Used Part sources.

However, does it take a special membership to post in these forum links? Tried to put a 'seat' link in and it denied my access.

Freebird Posted August 2, 2010 #5 Posted August 2, 2010 Sorry about that. Please try again. It should work now.
