well.... sort of...    more like in my very own city.  I never knew this place even existed here.

Anyone else in the Rochester, NY area go to King Cycle Sports? 

www.kingcyclesports.com

Its a big barn packed on every level with all sorts of salvaged Japanese motorcycles and parts. 
The place is down a side street, behind a house.  There aren't any signs for it out by the street or anything.  You wouldn't see it unless you knew it was back there.

Here is his ebay store, but he only has like 230+ items listed here, which is hardly anything compared to what he has in the barn.

Its kind of unbelievable.  I cant wait to go back and actually be able to concentrate enough to find the things I need.  I was too overwhelmed when I first went there.  I guess the guy just took over some other dude's 20yr old business like 5 months ago.  So he doesn't even know half of whats in the barn yet.

I am going to talk to him tomorrow and see if he is willing to take orders over the phone and ship items to people.  I am sure you all have moto bike junkyards closer than Rochester, NY ..  but I just wanted to share my discovery! 

Beautiful day for riding in Western upstate NY

Sounds like a good find Joel. Nothing like being close enough to just go shopping and not have to worry about things like shipping or getting the right part or even no part at all. Hope you find some good SOHC donors there and if so ......please report back.

Is this guy still there? I saw posts about it on Craigslist a couple months back and now can't find any info on it. I was hoping to go sometime this week
