How much does a new barrel cost over there (I'm assuming you're talking about the cylinder)? I just looked on a web site and it showed the "Cylinder Set" as costing $471.21.
I could call around to some used parts places but since the bike isn't that old it would be harder to find one but not impossible. Also if a bike that is only a couple of years old has been scrapped then I you would wonder what went wrong bad enough that it's worth junking... could be buying some damaged goods if you know what I mean.
