Should I buy a parts bike?

[xxluckxx]

I have a 84 Gs1150ef and it seems parts are getting harder to find. I hope the keep the bike for the rest of my life and give it to my son. I don’t think there are going to be parts in 30 years. Thoughts?

I have a "T" parts bike...bought it after I bought my riding "T".

She's sitting in our shed on center stand...my riding "T" is in our garage on center stand too.

I plan on keeping them for a long time. We have two daughters so it's not like I'm going to give them to either one of them...but maybe one each to their husbands.

absolutely get a parts bike its a no brainer. Its not so much that any of the bikes are rare but having a spares bike saves lost riding time. It also frees you from anxiety driven purchases of an overpriced part on ebay.
I have one. I have also a spare engine and a plethora of loose parts. I have a dozen cables and other bits that break.

I have three or four working ignition systems try finding one of them when yah need it for the weekend.

Ya i think I’m going to start looking for one, it was either that or start collecting electrical stuff but who knows what I will need down the road.
