know any good scrap yards?

Burro
My good friend put his yamaha vstar 1700 2004 down yesterday.  He's. Ok an the bike has cosmetic damage only. I want to fix it up for him. I'm having a hard time finding parts. Any advice is appreciated. I know wrong forum but I trust y'all.

There are three motorcycle salvage yards near Kansas City, however I always go to ebay first, for parts.

Tried ebay. Not a lot on there for this machine. Makes me appreciate my Cb even more.

What specific parts do you need and I'll keep my eyes open. I know of a couple places local to me. Just give us a list and I'll see what I stumble across.



Glad to hear your friend is OK

We traded old style exhaust roses for the newer version. I was fitting a 78 four into one on a 71
