I'm looking for any information about people in the Kansas City Metro that sell salvage title bikes.
I've got a 2008 883 Custom with Short Shots and I really enjoy riding it to work (only about 6 miles), but I'm looking for something a little more my size, more comfortable, and something for longer rides. I'm 6' 1" and 225lbs and the Sporty is nice for running around town, but anything longer than an hour and my hip sockets start hurting and I'd really like an extra gear for speeds of 65+. I don't really have the cash for a clean title bike, but a friend of mine turned me on to salvage title bikes. He bought a salvage Night Train and he really likes it. I understand the salvage title is a slippery slope and you want to be really thorough when inspecting a bike like that. But I'm just starting my search and wondered if there were any shops or people in the Kansas City area that fixed up and resold salvage bikes or sold bikes that had some minor cosmetic blems for sale that I might be able to fix myself.
Any help would be appreciated!
