    Whatever you end up doing, let me know if you need any help. I'm usually around, and I can pick up parts and whatnot if need be. I've got stands, tools, air compressor, etc.

    Thanks a lot. I went and spoke with Mark at Breaklites, very nice guy. He said the same thing about $3500, add sub frame to the list. I called the guy who hit it and gave him that figure, he was not excited. He is going to go through his insurance company. I just don't want to get dicked around by his appraiser. We both have the same insurance company so maybe that will work out. Thanks again to everyone for there suggestions and help.

    Insurance company is going to total it for that kind of money.

    If they do, make sure you do not accept their first offer. They always lowball you with the first offer.

    Also, if they total it, you have the option to buy it back for the highest bid it receives at auction, which could be a couple of hundred bucks.

    TRACK BIKE!!!

    Well I will find out Monday or Tuesday. I'm dropping it off at Break Lites Monday morning. His adjuster is looking at it the same day. This whole process was pretty easy. My luck it'll be 70 and sunny all next week.

    10% will go to mark from breaklites if you decide not to go with him for repairs and just an estimate. But definitely go with him for the repairs, you'll be glad you did because everything will come out better then before it went down.

    I'm dropping it off Monday to him. After talking to him I think everything is going to work out for the better. I need to take some before and after pics cuz I think its going to look a little different

    HAHA, I had a feeling. You'll love what he'll be able to do for you just at the estimated price. I'm going to see him today, I'll mention your bike is coming in monday.

    Re: My bike was backed over

    Well the bike is fixed. $3,970.71 later. Thanks half drunk guy.

    Before






    After





    Everything including the gas cap and levers, were powder coated black, 2 bros Ti exhaust, flush mounts, braided lines, new front pads, all new plastics.

    I need to give a VERY special thanks to Mark from Break Lites on Rt 1. He hooked me up HUGE. I cant say enough nice things about the guy. If you need any work done don't hesitate and go see this guy. Also to Imkindafuckdup for the recommendation.

    If anyone can make the pics bigger feel free.

    SO, before, you had a hot chick next to the bike and after, nothing.

    I'd go for before, IMO.

    In that case I'll change the After to a bikini shot tomorrow. No, it won't be me.

    Glad everything worked out for you, and definitely a hard +1 for breaklites.

    Re: My bike was backed over

    that's a sharp looking bike. looks better than brand new.

    glad to hear it seemed to have worked out in your favor (though i know how much being bikeless sucks).

    looks like just in time for the best weather of the season
