Triumph Junk Yards/Used Parts

[5.0 Will]

My insurance company wants to total my '06 S3. A total waste of a great bike with 6k miles. Beside a lot of minor road rash but functional parts ($4k worth), the biggest issue is bent forks and a busted triple tree. I've been searching ebay, but is their a used part/junk yard supplier in the US?

Stick a set of GSXR forks on there - will be much more readily available not to mention a whole lot cheaper.
Oh - and will perform better also!

"a busted triple tree" ?????

Takes a pretty heavy hit to break this...
Make sure the frames ok.

yeah, that is what the dealer estimate said however when i went to look at it it was just twisted so i'm hoping the yokes are fine with new forks. the frame head looked good. however the left stop was busted off on the lower yoke. should i get a new yoke or have a welder attach a stop?

Just in case you hadn't realized the GSXR forks are not a straight swap/fit into the S3 triples - but can be made to work.
You also have to recpgnize there are many different flavours of GSXR forks which are dimensionally different.

If the triples are bent (as well as the broken stop) why would you want to re-use them?
