Project Bikes and Rolling Frames in Melbourne
Project Bikes and Rolling Frames are restorable motorcycles and rolling chassis that Motorcycle Wreckers Near Me sells to Melbourne builders, restorers and riders. A rolling frame gives you a frame, forks, wheels and swingarm to start from. A project bike gives you a bike you can repair, rebuild or turn into a custom build.

What You Get with a Rolling Frame
A rolling frame is a motorcycle without its engine, and often without its electrics and bodywork. You get the frame, front forks, wheels, brakes and swingarm. You supply the engine and finishing parts, or ask us to match them from our stock.
Build It from Our Parts Stock
Once you have the frame, we help you finish it. We stock engines, gearboxes, wheels, brakes, fairings, tanks, electrics and exhausts for many models. We check the part number and model year range before we sell, so each part fits your build.
Check Before You Buy
Before you buy a project bike, check:
- The frame for bends, cracks and repairs
- The headstock and swingarm for damage
- The VIN plate and engine number
- Which parts are present and which are missing
- The ownership papers and registration status
Write-Off Status and Re-Registration
A repairable write-off can return to the road after repair and inspection, while a statutory write-off cannot be registered again. Ask us about the status of any bike before you buy, and check the rules for your state.
Collection and Delivery
You can collect your project from our yard, or we send parts by courier across Melbourne and Australia. Tell us your suburb and we confirm the options.

Where we work
Areas We Serve
We supply project bikes and frames across Melbourne and to the places below. Each line lists one local rule that affects a rebuild.
Victoria 6 places
Geelong
Before a Geelong bike changes hands, the owner removes the number plates and cancels the registration through myVicRoads.
Ballarat
Victorian dealers who buy a vehicle as scrap record the vehicle identifier and the seller's name, address and identification details.
Bendigo
A repairable write-off needs a roadworthy certificate and a Victorian vehicle identity validation certificate before it can be registered again, and a statutory write-off never goes back on the road.
Shepparton
Victoria requires the written-off vehicle notification to reach VicRoads before a written-off bike is disposed of, so ask for the status of any project bike before you buy.
Mildura
Dismantling or keeping vehicles on land used mainly for housing needs a council permit in Victoria, so check with your council before you store a project in Mildura.
Albury Wodonga
Wodonga follows Victorian rules and Albury follows New South Wales rules, so tell us which side of the border you will register the bike on.
New South Wales 6 places
Sydney
New South Wales requires a motor vehicle recycler licence to buy and sell major body and mechanical components of vehicles.
Newcastle Maitland
In New South Wales a sold motorcycle needs a notice of disposal through Service NSW, and plates you remove go back to a service centre.
Central Coast
A motorcycle sold to a wrecker without plates needs no notice of disposal in New South Wales, but you cancel the registration and return the plates to a service centre.
Wollongong
A written-off motorcycle in New South Wales needs no notice of disposal: you cancel the registration and return the plates.

A statutory write-off cannot be registered again anywhere in Australia, including New South Wales, so never buy one as a road project.

Brisbane
In Queensland, tell Transport and Main Roads before you sell or dispose of a total write-off, using form F4069 when you cancel the registration.

Queensland wreckers hold a motor dealer (wrecker) licence, which lets them take in used vehicles, whole or in parts, to sell as parts.
