I've started buying parts from Dave at Appleton HD for my 12SS-Uly project but I have also been looking for some used parts to reduce the cost. It surprises me that very few Uly parts seem to be available on E-bay and I've only had 1 response to my post in the parts wanted section. Are there any bone yards that carry a fair amount of Buells, where do the wrecked bikes go? Any good sources would be appreciated. | ||

I agree that Uly parts bikes are scarce right now. You'll find a fair amount of XB9R/XB12R because they were made for several years now and the folks, before frame pucks, would down them relatively fast and they'd become salvage titled. I think the ULY is going to be like the BMW R1150GS in looking for used parts. Though the GS has still been made longer than the Uly at this point. | ||

You have to contact the insurance companies and the dealers that they use to get estimates so they can make repair or salvage decisions. If you don't have a dealer or insurance company who will work with you then you're stuck cruising E-Bay, Cycletrader and Craigslist looking for parts (Message edited by slaughter on October 11, 2006) | ||

That is fine if your near Stillwater, MN. Middle of Nowhere (not meant to offend). Where are more salvage places that deal with the public and not just dealers? | ||

All good Buells go to heaven. Guess I should have expect that. So I guess that bad ones go to see this guy.  | ||

This seems to be a world-wide mystery. 3 months ago I was looking for trivial bits like indicators and the like and had a fair bit of time on my hands to find them via a mate at a wreckers and his resources. Long story short there turned out to be ONE 12R that had burnt in an accident and was minus the engine. Most dealers/wreckers talk of a fair few of them being binned quite badly but no-one knows where they go.......... |
