I am considering purchasing a 2005 FJR as a parts bike. It is missing the seat, windshield, one muffler, but apart from that, supposedly rideable (obviously after installing a seat and muffler).
The reason I am doing this is that I need a few ABS parts (hydraulic unit, etc) for my 2004, and these parts are EXPENSIVE. The parts bike is selling for $2300.
I would like to hear from anyone who has parted out a bike. Is it worthwhile? Is there really a market for the parts? Should I be able to get my money back with a good front & rear end & engine? I think it makes sense, but just want a sanity check.
Cheers,
Bob
