The truth is that there are probably tons of defunct MC shops around the country with the same circumstances. I once took a head from a 72 Bonnie to a small machine shop in the older, "ghetto", part of Kansas City, Kansas. As I looked around the shop I noticed a back door, in the yard were a mix of HD and brit bike carcasses just sitting out in the elements, a bone yard. This was before the internet and cell phones, I think most these guys just did not have access to the market place to sell the spares.
