Something I witnessed this past week mad me a bit sad.\u00a0 A company that I cant name or describe too much scrapped most of their inventory of used Japanese motorcycle parts.\u00a0 Motors, frames, tanks, plastic, suspension, and everything else.\u00a0 Items from the 80’s up thru the 2000’s and even some stuff from earlier.\u00a0 Most of it was late 1980s & early 1990s sportbike parts but there was a ton of CB, GPz, XS, GS, VF, and KZ stuff in there as well.<\/p>\n
