dont know if this qualifies as "other vehicles" but I just picked this up for $1500. 2004 GSX-R 600. The original owner was a 19 year old first time rider who, after letting me give him a 30 min riding lesson, went riding with the wrong people. These people tried to teach him how to ride a wheelie on his first day and of course he wrecked. They told him to take the bike to 9g and pop the clutch in 1st gear, he did and one hell of a wheelie was the result. He pulled the bike straight up and blew the subframe off of the bike, this knocked him off, and sent the front of the bike slamming down, blowing apart the front wheel. The bike slid into a curb and broke every piece of plastic on it.
Heres my deal, the insurance company paid it off after much hassle, and mike bought the bike back. After we looked at it, he decided he just wanted something new and was going to part the bike out. I told him i would give him 1500 for it and he accepted.
First for the good part. After thinking that the forks were bent, a mechanic told me that they werent and I was able to adjust them back to original position. Also thanks to 2 years of autobody, i was able to weld all of the plastic back together using ABS sticks.
Now for the bad parts. I need a front wheel, subframe sides, ignition, front brake fluid resovoir, visor and visor brace, headlight assembly, tail light assembly, top triple crown, ignition cylinder, and turnsignals. Since this bike is so new, I am having problems finding the subframe sides and headlight assembly. Most of the broke parts can be replaced with either aftermarket parts or parts on ebay. If anyone can help me with the parts I am having trouble finding myself I would be greatful.
