    Hi all, I am looking for a rolling chassis and want to use it for converting it to an EV bike. I like the size of my older Yamaha FZ6 sport tour which a 600 in it but anything 250cc on up is required for the components. Any particular websites you guys may know of? I've tried Marketplace and eBay already. Just looking for other sources. Thanks!

    Size type for example:

    Seems to me you're already looking at the only places you're like to find something of that nature. I know in the past there were some aftermarket frame companies around making chopper frames or full out race frames but if your plan is to use this on the street you're almost certainly going to find it easier to register it if you start with an existing road legal bike. Good luck, could be fun and interesting.

    Too bad you're on the opposite coast. My buddy has an fz1 with a mysterious electric fault that would be the perfect candidate to strip

    Yeh I'd prefer something with a title. Here in NJ we can get modified vehicle titles and registrations.

    Here in my neighborhood there are at least three bikes sitting in people’s front yards surrounded by weeds that I’m sure somebody would sell you.

    Drive around and knock on some doors?
