Glad you woke up! everything else is secondary.
Cost for paint and repairs varies a lot, anywhere from several hundred to several thousand. Hope insurance will cover it.

I had to repaint my front fender. I took the stripped fender to the painter and he matched the two tone factory colors including a pinstripe of a 3rd color for $250.
Having said that I'd expect a whole bike to cost between 2 and 3 thousand dollars. And don't forget to add for decals and emblams.
Of course one color may be less and the sky's the limit if you decide on something custom.

Yikes! Scary stuff, hopefully you're alright and will heal up fully!
Paint costs tho, could be anywhere from $500 to $5,000.00

Sounds like you have a bit of healing to do, maybe ask some local bike / car dealers who they use. Do some research in your down time. Make sure and post results when she gets done!

A whole paint job will run - my guess - $2,000 and up, I just had mine repainted for $5,000

Broken collar bone and ribs...and all you need is new paint?
I got knocked down in Mar, broken tibia/fibia....and I needed new saddlebag, crash bars, lower fairing, outer FLT fairing, hand controls, some minor repainting, etc. and it all came out to $5500.

Find out why you awoke in an ambulance....sounds like someone kicked the crap out of you and scratched up your bike...LOL

Probably cheaper to pick up a complete set of tins on eBay. Paid $1200 for a buddy to paint my Road King last year, you could easily hit $3k depending on the painter.

Posts some pics of the damage when you get a chance, along with want you want to do with it and I can tell you what I would charge.
