I'm sorting through some of the old motorcycle parts and I was wondering what parts I can recycle. I think I found the turn signal relay, and I found the distributor and something else the spark plugs connect to. Is there anything I can use from this junk? Solenoid? Starter? Something?

And another question about the contactor. My setup will be 72v. I've been toying with the idea of increasing it to 96v. If I got the 96v contactor, would that work for the 72v until I expand it? Or would it be a bad idea?

Also. Pre-charge resistor. Recommended? Or just skip it?
