There are not only salvage yards for trucks or for cars but also for your motorcycle
. There are some vintage bikes that the only way you can get a part for them is through a salvage yard. This is not bad as getting a part from a salvage yard is almost half the price you would have to pay at a regular dealer. Its the same process as a car that the motorcycle would go through. Once they are received they would be inspected by mechanics to see what parts are reusable. The motorcycle is then taken apart and the parts that are being sold are taken to showrooms so that they can be viewed. There are times when its the bike itself that being auctioned at a reduced price. There are many places that you can go to locate these salvage yards. There is the local directory, which is always convenient and you can call before hand to make sure they have the part that you have. When searching for parts through this process its important that you write down prices that you were told at the places you visited so that you can compare prices. You can also go on the internet by the part that you want or for motorcycle salvage yards in your community or state. With the online you will be able to cover a wider range and some places that are not in your range will deliver the parts to you. Last but not least is to check in with your mechanic. The mechanic can refer you to where they buy parts. They will also know all the places where you can get deals on the parts. Your mechanic is always purchasing parts so they would be the best persons to get that type of recommendation from.
