Crash damage/Salvage bikes
I'm after a crash damaged bike to strip and reuse as much of the bike as possible, engine, clocks, indicators etc.
How do you go about finding an insurance write-off cheaply i.e. before it's bought by a company to strip and sell in bits?

www.universalsalvage.co.uk usually has a few online auctions for bike salvage. Haven't used them though.

I'm sure Malc would help, I may end up going that way in the end. I'm trying to cut out the middleman though

Buy a complete ZZR1100, decent fairly low mileage (sub 30,000) examples are available for around £1000, you can ride it to check all is A1, strip off
what you want & sell the rest on ebay for almost what you paid!
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

Speak to Kevin or Dale at Rodgeman & Williams, they have many bikes written off at their shop. I used to do about 3 a week when an insurance
assessor. They quite offen get 'stuck' with the odd Higherbusted to dispose of!
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation
