Why Motorcycle Wreckers Are a Great Source of Spare Parts
Need a motorcycle part without paying full retail price? A motorcycle wrecker can be one of the smartest places to look. Here's why used motorcycle parts are worth considering.
Don't overlook the wreckers.
Motorcycle wreckers are a practical source of second-hand parts, especially if you're repairing an older bike, replacing a damaged component or simply trying to keep repair costs under control.

Why check the wreckers?
Used doesn't automatically mean compromised. In many cases, you're buying a genuine motorcycle component removed from another bike rather than a cheap aftermarket replacement.
Save Money
Used parts can cost significantly less than buying new, particularly for larger or expensive components.
OEM Parts
You can often find genuine original-equipment parts instead of replacing them with aftermarket alternatives.
Older Bikes
Wreckers can be especially useful when manufacturers no longer stock parts for older models.
Huge Range
From engines and wheels to fairings, electrical components, suspension and small hardware.
What Does a Motorcycle Wrecker Actually Do?
A motorcycle wrecker dismantles motorcycles and recovers usable components that can be sold as second-hand replacement parts.
Bikes can come from crashes, insurance write-offs, deregistered motorcycles or machines that are no longer economical to repair. Instead of every usable component ending up as waste, parts can be removed, checked and supplied to riders who need them.
This can include everything from engines and gearboxes to wheels, forks, bodywork, electrical components, controls and smaller replacement parts.
Why Buy From a Motorcycle Wrecker?
There are several good reasons riders and repairers turn to motorcycle wreckers when they need a replacement part.
You Can Often Save Money
New genuine motorcycle parts can become expensive quickly. A good used part can offer a more affordable alternative, particularly for older motorcycles.
You Can Find Genuine OEM Parts
If you want the original component that was designed for your motorcycle, a wrecker can be a useful source of genuine OEM parts.
Older Bikes Can Be Easier to Source Parts For
Finding new parts for an older motorcycle isn't always easy. Wreckers can have components from models that are no longer supported by manufacturers.
There's a Huge Range of Parts
Motorcycle wreckers deal with a wide range of components, meaning you may find everything from bodywork and wheels to engines, suspension and electrical parts.
Are Used Motorcycle Parts
Actually Any Good?
The condition of a used motorcycle part depends on what the component is, where it came from and how it has been looked after.
That's why buying from an experienced motorcycle wrecker matters. The condition of the part should be explained clearly before you commit to buying it.
For some parts, a quality used OEM component can make a lot of sense compared with buying a brand-new replacement.
