Title: Recomendation for used parts Post by: Gimpy on January 23, 2009, 04:39:46 PM These days it seems that I always have a buddies bike in my garage in need of repairs or waiting for a total make over. Lately I have been having a hard time finding many used parts, and in so many occasions the dealers prices are very prohibitive. I checked the local resources post, but I noticed a lack of used parts in the listing. I always check Ebay, Craigslist, and Fremont cycle salvage, and I have a list of forums for old BMW Airheads. I figured I would toss out the net to all the local smart guy peeps in here. So........ Where do you get all you quality used parts for Ducati's and otherwise? TIA

Title: Re: Recomendation for used parts Post by: Gimpy on January 23, 2009, 07:22:15 PM Well .... what I'm looking for always depends on the moment. This thread was intended to get ideas where to look. But since you guys asked here's is what I'm looking for currently:
Classic looking 60mm Speedometer. Hopefully electronic Used Rizoma reservoirs Rear Brake rotor for a BMW r1150r Alternator rotor assembly for a BMW f650 Nice looking controls for 7/8 bar front fork upgrade options for 2001 Monster 900 Ohlins or Penske shock on the cheap [evil]http://208.109.198.140/Themes/black22_11final_tp/images/icons/modify_inline.gif Sometimes I'm looking for Honda parts and sometimes its bits for a Ninja 250.

Title: Re: Recomendation for used parts Post by: bigiain on January 23, 2009, 07:34:45 PM Rear Brake rotor for a BMW r1150r Alternator rotor assembly for a BMW f650 The BMW guys here in Australia all rave about the service and prices from http://www.motobins.co.uk/ Quote Sometimes I'm looking for Honda parts and sometimes its bits for a Ninja 250. Have you checked with Spidey? Hasn't he crashed every second Ninja 250 ever made? [laugh] big Title: Re: Recomendation for used parts Post by: Speeddog on January 24, 2009, 12:10:44 AM What do you mean by 'front fork upgrade options for 2001 Monster 900'?
Improvement to function? Or a direct swap in better fork? Give Stew a holler about switchgear. I'd have to get 2 shocks on the cheap before one could make it through to anyone else. [laugh] The other stuff I pretty much got nothin'.

[thumbsup] The other stuff I pretty much got nothin'. Basically I want to upgrade for something either tailored or something at least a little adjustable, but I'm just not sure what avenue I'm going to take yet. So basically I'm keeping my eyes open for either something that will bolt right in like off of a M900S or S4R, or possibly something that takes a bit more modification, like a SBK or GXR fork. Maybe if I strike it rich I'll consider a complete Ohlins fork upgrade or a matris cartridge.

[laugh] big This is exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for. This site is great, just for the animation alone [thumbsup] So YOU have my license plate (http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=9927.0)!

I usually troll though the parts for sell every once in awhile. I think i need to send up a RSS feed and then crate some sort of email alert based on keywords or something. There are just too many postings to sort through. And I am just so very...very..... lazy :D Title: Re: Recomendation for used parts Post by: MendoDave on January 24, 2009, 03:01:25 AM Well I'm going to be looking for Bars & controls.
