flyboy1011 Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 So last week I got hit by a car. I was stopped and he was only doing like 5-10, so damage is minimal, but due to the old-ness of the bike, it will most likely be totalled out by insurance because plastics are so expensive. SO, my plan is as follows (assuming they total it and the frame isn't damaged):1. buy it back from the insurance company2. get it inspected and run it on a rebuilt title3. strip all the plastics off and get what i can for them on cbrforum, CL, or ebay, or here if anyones interested.4. commence streetfighter projectSo if anyone has any tips or would like to come help me out I offer pizza and beer. I won't be hearing back from insurance until next week so this is a little into the future, but I figure I'd start gathering up ideas now. Let me know what you guys/gals think.

flyboy1011 Posted June 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 negative on the pictures. I'll snap some once I get it back, though. the lower left fairing is cracked where I actually got hit, pretty much the entire right side is scratched up pretty good, portion of the windshield and right side mirror snapped off and right side peg bent back a little.

flyboy1011 Posted June 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 well just heard back from Ohio Motorcycle today. Crash estimate came out to a little over $8,000 :lol:I knew it was going to be totalled but I really wasn't expecting it to be anywhere near that high. Good news is there were no problems reported with the frame. So as soon as I hear back from insurance I'll be buying it back, opening up the garage door and offering beer/pizza/cash to all who would like to embark on my glorious adventure with me.

marca Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 It seems like you could just keep the bike and let the insurance company give you the difference between the total settlement and the salvage value of the bike. Then you wouldn't have a "salvage" title. Maybe they won't let you do this anymore, but I did it once on a car years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuikAccord Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 I had a car totaled recently. They made me fax them a copy of a salvage title before they would send the check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyboy1011 Posted June 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 STILL waiting to hear back from the insurance company. It is taking forever. I've been looking on customfighters.com all day and am getting super anxious to get started. Going on three weeks without a bike. I want it back.

gen3flygirl Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 bummer about the insurance, the weather has been soooo nice for riding today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyboy1011 Posted July 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 (edited) finally heard back from them today. Bringing it home tonight. Total value of the bike came to $1069 and buyback was $330, so I'll be getting a check for $729. Not what I was hoping for, but I'll take it. Trying to get the inspection done sooner rather than later so it doesn't have to sit anymore than it has been. Keep a heads up for a build thread coming soon Edited July 1, 2010 by flyboy1011 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antatious Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 That's rough. I'm driving the same bike and I know I will be doing exactly what you're doing if I get in an accident. Don't worry about it though, you can make some mean looking F2 streetfighters. Check out the F2 forums on cbrforum.com. There are some really useful posts about swapping tails out and whatnot. Great step by steps. Good luck. Can't wait to see how it goes. I'll be looking for pointers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
