Looking for a salvage yard
06/28/12 at 10:53:33
I have been having no luck finding a local motorcycle salvage yard. There are a ton online but they always want to know exactly what part you are looking for, I have no idea what I am looking for. I am looking for any part that looks cool and I think I can make work on my new project. Any ideas for motorcycle salvage yards near Charleston SC?

Well,, I understand what youre wanting,, but how can anyone transfer from their mind the ability to pick out what looks cool to them? You need to walk around & look & when your eye falls on "The Answer" youll know it, but no one can do that for you.,,.
Id spend some time looking at online pics of old bikes & when you see something you like, write down what year & model bike has it & then go looking for it,

There is one in York, PA. Not quite local, but if you get up this way, stop on in!
I dig through my local HD custom chopper shop's parts. He has tons of take-offs. If you have one of those, you may find something as well.

Both great suggestions. I do have a harely shop a few miles from my house, never been there but I guess I could give it a try.
really what I am looking for are seat pans, fenders, and handlebars.

The custom shop here has tons of fenders and bars. And seats, but they will also require mods to fit.

They have a showroom where you can request your parts. I got a used brake lever. I mentioned that I didn't know what I wanted and just like to look and say "hey, I can make that work". I was told it would be no problem. It was closing time, so I didn't do it then. I will take a tour the next time I am down that way.

Don't limit yourself to just Harley dealerships though. What I did was Google Motorcycle Repair for my local area and called them all to see if they have extra parts laying around for sale. For example My 2 in. risers were $30 normally $150 off a 2011 Vulcan 900. Tell them you're making a custom bobber, chopper, cafe racer etc and they'll have all kinds of cool advice. They probably like working on something that isn't factory at least that's been my experience.
Good Luck.
