I'm considering a salvage titled bike to turn into a track bike. The bike was down in a low speed crash and slid under the bumper of a car, damaging the radiator and wrecking some of the plastic. The guy selling it says a local dealer checked it out for insurance purposes (including frame and forks) and that the bike was straight. Radiator and plastics appear to be the most expensive parts to replace. He is going to send me the insurance form to look at. What would it cost to double-check the straightness of the bike? I'd probably want to have that done to be sure. Then, what suspension mods would be recommended? I'd want an aftermarket rear shock (Penske or Fox probably) and have the bike set up for my weight. I've never been through this so any thoughts on how much I might be looking at spending are appreciated. Thanks.
