Can anyone recommend any bike breakers with online 'shops' by any chance?

I'm looking for something pretty specific unfortunately... what I'm looking for is something exactly like mine (a cbr900rry - 929cc fireblade) which has been down the road to turn in to a track bike. The more cosmetically fazzooked the better.

No rush to find a bike, project in mind.

Cheers,

Mark

I've used one of the parts finder services before which worked pretty well. You identify what you want and that gets sent to a large list of breakers. They then contact you if they have what you want.

You may also want to look at:

It's not really parts I'm after. What I'm looking for is a fully working fireblade to turn in to a track bike. I don't mind fixing accident damage but what I'm trying to avoid is paying full second biketrader hand value for someone's p&j when I'm just going to take all the lights and fairing off it anyway.

The reason why I want an rry is simply that I have one already which I love but don't really want to convert it to a track bike because then I'd have to buy another one at p&j prices for the roadwink

The parts finders I have used have had free text fields for your requirements so you could just write "fully working fireblade to turn in to a track bike"! The worst that can happen is that no one gets back to you! (Or perhaps the worst is that everyone gets back to you!)

Lol, good point, hadn't thought of that.
