"Does anyone know of any motorbike breakers in Glasgow as looking for bike project for hubby I know there shut at the mo ect any help appreciated.. "
You might be better looking on gumtree for a project. Problem with breakers are the bikes/vehicles might be classed as scrapped then you cant put them on the road. Insurance salvage auctions (Birnams) I think are one but again you will need to have it inspected one its repaired. I do project stuff on cars and buildings something like that is difficult especially if it's a first time. Best advice I can give is buy a runner and personalize it, take parts off and learn about it and change small stuff. Many projects start well and end up in a box. |

Gumtree or Facebook market place is probably your best bet. As above most bikes that end up at a breakers are insurance write off's so very difficult to put back on the road. Buy a basket case from one of the other sites and you have a chance to build something you can use.

My mate has a MK2 Escort Shell for sale.
It's on ebay I think but like I say it's just the shell so would be alot of work unless you have a donor.
I've a couple of bikes in boxes I could part with but they are jap 80s sports bikes.
