Yeah, they are a good source for hard to get parts for older bikes. This bloke is only open a couple of days a week. When I bought the Kawasaki it was a basket case so I spent some time and money getting it up to scratch. a young bloke at work asked if I want to buy a tank for it as his mate had one. I ended up buying the whole bike in pieces, took what I wanted from it and reassembled the remaining bits. The crankshaft was knackered as was the clutch. When i asked this fellow wrecking bikes for a crank he said this bike is not old enough for him to have one. I ended up getting a second hand crank and clutch from a place in Adelaide. Sold the bike back to the lad I bought it from, I lost some money on it but got the pieces I wanted so we were all happy in the end. :)
Oh, yes, bike wreckers are handy.

There is another place in town that used to sell Triumphs, kawasakis and Kymcos, didn't last long, has closed down. In his shop he still has a few bits laying around, one of those bits is a scooter, looks like a Honda lead from the 90's. A few bits missing.
Hmm, thinking of the Honda/Kymco link.

Yes, it's a bit of a tease, even if nothing is interchangeable, it is still a scooter sitting waiting for me.
Oh no, here comes another.

My zx takes the same belt/var/clutch as the People. There are a few other models as well. The honda would be a great score, as you may be able to use most of your kymco spares to build a for sale scoot. People love those old hondas.
