Andy Brebner who used to (and may still) work for Victoria M/C Wreckers used to run a bit of a business from his home back in 2000 (when I lived over in Victoria) speciallising in SR500's.
The last phone number I have for him in my mobile is 0395637334, but this number is from 6 years ago so it might not get him. You may be able to contact him via the SR500 Club of Aust if the phone number is not any good, as he is still an active member of the club, and races a SR500 with club sponsorship.

I tried Vic Wreckers when I saw them reffered by Stew Ross on this forum. I googled their website. At the time they didn't have any SR's in stock, but they seemed helpful.
Also Metropolitan Motorcycle Wreckers in Sydney seem to bring in Sr's and part them.
Best bet is to get a copy of Motorcycle Trader and flick throughthe wreckers section and find the guys who have SR's often advertised.

That name Andy Brebner rings a bell. I think the guy who sold me the bike might have mentioned his name. Unfortunately in adelaide we have virtually nothing. There was one on o'sullivans beach road for ages but they're gone now.

Yeah, tried them. I called them on the saturday before christmas when my throttle return cable snapped (they were the only place open). Nothing. How's that. I work my butt off all year and get four days off over christmas and three over new years and now the bike's sitting under the verandah with the tank and seat off waiting for yamaha to get a cable in!

I just popped in to Show and Go to see if they had anything similar. They used to have a pretty good range of bikes and parts last time i was in there. They now have a good range of.....scooters. Waste of time.

I called in at Maddington Motor Cycle Wreckers in Perth a while ago . They had 3 SR motors &1 XT , 2 looked complete I think they wanted about $400.00 I very nearly purchased one as the bits factor alone would have been worth it ? I was contemplating building another bike but I ran out of the hard to find bits like CDI units switches . So I"ve got frame , guards , tanks , and a few other good bits for swap /sale .
