Default New to here and bikes, Where to find cheap parts

Complete newb here.I should startby telling youIhave nobike experience at all, never even rode one down the street. I recently was given a 93' Ninja 250 ex from a friend. It had been dumped a few times, an absolute beginer bike. I am having the bike looked over by a mechanic to be sure it is running, and safe. I have removed all the plastics that are left, and plan on replacing the broken and missing pieces, along with repainting the plastics. Where can I find a lower fairing, windshield, and seat at a decent price. I checked ebay, but I was hoping for more of a classified type deal. Thanks for any tips, I'm sure the forum is full of great info, I plan on wearing your search function out!

you can try craigs list but e bay is going to be the best bet, or a mc salvage yard, allthough wrecked 250's are few and far between. good luck on the search and welcome to the forums.
