People find us by searching for a Harley salvage yard, a Harley junkyard, or a motorcycle wrecker in Ohio, and then they ask the same question on the phone: what actually happens to the bikes? This is the answer, with the numbers from our floor as of September 13, 2026.
Right now there are 215 Harley-Davidson motorcycles being dismantled at 26110 Euclid Ave, and 7,339 used parts from them and their predecessors on the shelf. In the last 30 days we brought in 34 bikes and listed 2,339 parts. Over the last 90 days, 149 bikes and 4,362 parts. It is a busy building.
Where the bikes come from
Wrecks, mostly. Insurance write-offs where the frame or the fairing took the hit and the engine never knew anything happened. Bikes that sat too long. Bikes whose owners wanted them gone more than they wanted to fix them. A few that were simply worn out.
They are not all old. The donors on the floor today span model years 1980 to 2026. The biggest group is 2007 to 2013 Touring bikes, 87 of the 215, which is why our Touring shelf is the deepest in the yard. Sixty-six are pre-2000, 44 are 2000 to 2006, and 13 are 2014 or newer.
Median odometer reading on the bikes being dismantled right now: 24,748 miles. The highest is just over 81,000. A lot of these are bikes that had plenty left in them.
Intake: the bike gets a stock number before anything comes off it
Every motorcycle that comes through the door is logged as a whole vehicle first. We record the VIN, year, model and sub-model, the engine, and the odometer, and we photograph the entire bike as it arrived. Then it gets a stock number, and that number follows every single part we pull from it.
You can see all of this yourself. The bike goes up in our Motorcycles Currently Dismantling collection with its photos and mileage, and every part we list from it links back to the same donor. When you are looking at a wheel or an ECM, you can see the exact bike it came off, what it looked like, and how many miles it had. That is the main reason we do it this way.
We do not sell the whole bikes online. If you want one before it is dismantled, call us.
Dismantling: what comes off first and why
Fluids are drained, then the bike is stripped in roughly value order, with the big assemblies first: engine, transmission, wheels, fairings, saddlebags and Tour-Paks, fuel tank. Then the electrical: modules, harnesses, switch housings, instruments. Then controls, lighting, brakes, suspension, and finally the hardware and brackets that nobody thinks about until one is missing.
The result is a shelf that is deeper in some categories than people expect from a "junkyard." Today:
| Category | Parts listed |
|---|---|
| Electrical and ECU | 1,478 |
| Seats and luggage | 1,139 |
| Controls and levers | 1,077 |
| Body, fairings and covers | 758 |
| Lighting | 650 |
| Brakes | 599 |
| Suspension and forks | 593 |
| Wheels and axles | 531 |
| Transmission and clutch | 488 |
| Frame and chassis | 472 |
| Engine and internals | 466 |
| Fuel system | 377 |
Electrical is the largest category by a wide margin, and that is deliberate. A wiring harness, a TSSM, or a switch housing from a 2003 Electra Glide is the kind of part that is either sitting on a shelf like ours or not available at all.
Frames come with their title status on the tag
One thing we do that not every yard does: frames are listed with the donor's title status right in the name. "CLN CLR" means the bike came to us with a clean, clear title. "SLVG" means salvage. If you are building a bike around a used frame, that difference matters at the title office, and we would rather you know before you buy than after. There are 472 frame and chassis parts on the shelf today, with complete Touring main frames running from about $629 to $1,440 depending on year and title status.
Every part gets photographed, tagged and guaranteed
Each part is photographed before it is listed, not from a stock image, from the actual part in the actual condition it is in. Ten or more photos is normal; complete engines get twenty to fifty. Then it is tagged with:
- the donor bike's year, model and sub-model, and the stock number that links back to it
- the OEM part number as printed (90 percent of our parts carry one), plus the numbers it cross-references to
- the model-year range of the donor's production run, as a starting point for fitment
- a condition note
Then it goes on the shelf and on the site, usually within days of the bike arriving.
Every part carries our 60-day guarantee with hassle-free returns and exchanges. Orders are packed within a day of payment. US standard shipping is free on most orders of $70 and up (oversized items like engines and frames go by freight; see the shipping page), and local pickup at the yard is always an option, Monday to Friday, 9 to 5.
What happens to the rest
Not everything is worth listing. Bent frames, seized engines, and the odd part that is too far gone are stripped for usable hardware and the rest is recycled. We would rather list fewer parts than list ones we would not put on our own bikes.
Selling us a bike
We buy Harleys in most conditions: wrecked, non-running, salvage-titled, or just unwanted. A whole bike is worth more to us than a pile of parts, so do not strip it first. Call +1 440-817-0268 or use the contact page with the year, model, mileage, title status and a couple of photos, and we will tell you what we can do.
