My uncle ran his own insurance firm and always advised to steer clear of fire damaged goods! If your car catches fire, open the doors and let it burn to a crisp. I wouldn't touch any fire damaged bike, unless it was free.

Now way to tell for sure without more info, but they can take a lot. I turned this into that and it's my favorite bike that I have right now.

Nice job! You must love that ride a lot to spend the bucks to restore it that well.
