Default Where to find Frames for bikes??

I posted back about my deal with my friend that went bad after he filed Bankruptcy and now I'm just done with him and the bank. I need a frame for the bike now and was wondering if anyone knew a site or had a # to a place that sells them. I search EBAY daily for parts.

The bike frame I need 98-98 ZX-9R

Thanks

And to finish off about what happened with the outcome. I haven't seen my friend since I last talked to him and no one else has either. I stopped by the bank to talk to the repo/loan guy nad left my # but he never got back with me. I owe my (old) friend $900 to pay off the bike so if I can find a frame for that price or cheaper than I'll have a pretty good deal then. If I pay a lil more ohh well it's better than going back out and trying to find another bike and spend $1000's on it. I know I'll have the time of taking the parts off and installing them but my friend stripped his zx-9 last year and had no problem putting everything on. I have had this bike damn near stripped already anyways.

Thanks again

it's really a crap shoot, ebay is your best bet and it may take some time.

btw, a friend needs a clean or salvage title 03 sv650s frame; he stuffed his nicely.

I would look into some of the larger salvage yards and dismantlers. There is a guy on fleabay that goes by partzparts. They buy perfectly good bikes and strip em and sell them in parts on ebay. Their prices arent too high. You could also check around on a few of the forums. I frequent wera, 2wf, and a bunch of the other sportbike forums. May wanna check for a zx9 specific forum and post up.

Also, once you do the swap you could sell your frame as a bill of sale only item to recoup some of your losses.

Good luck with your search.
