Yet another pretty nice place to get used parts

[Miguel!]

I got a part form them today at about 10% of the new price for my 2001 R1100RT. I'd been watching for one on Beemerboneyard and Bobs BMW for a couple months. I found one today on eBay and interacted with Branden via email. Later in the day, I found them on the web and talked with him in person. They dismantle motorcycles and sell via eBay. Very nice guy and most of their inventory is on their website: Steele Cycles.

 

Best

PS, I've no association other than a satisfied customer.

Nice I'll keep that in mind for my '99RT needs

 

Haha, I saw the Bultaco banner in the background of the attached pictures, so I checked their offering.  Alas, it was a thin collection....a niche dinosaur bike to be sure.

Bultaco lives on in the Spanish made trials and enduro bikes by "Gas-Gas".  I have a good friend in Casper, WY who is a dealer.  Alpine Motorsports.

I was aware of the Bultaco lineage to Gas-Gas. The Spanish motor cycle industry has always been interconnected across brands, so I suspect there is some lineal connection from Montesa and Ossa as well.

 

All three historical Spanish marques seem to have some modern incarnations out there with Bultaco maybe being the most interesting, now offering a range of "motorcycles" that are really E-bicycles.  No dealer network in the States though.

 

Haha was doing a long overdo purge of storage shelving last week and my pristine aluminum OEM Sherpa-T fenders were uncovered.  I took them off the day I bought that bike and put on the ugly but more practical Preston Petty plastic fenders and then somehow didn't include the OEMs when I sold the T.  Needless to say they didn't get purged much to my wife's dismay.

My first resource is beemerboneyard.com.  When repairing the 2005 GS before selling, I dealt with this firm in England.  Very easy to do business with them.  Find the part, send them an email.  They create and send you an invoice; pay, and it's on its way.
