my insurance won't cover another rider unfortunately... I'm afraid what the insurance would say if i told them it was crashed knowing that i wasn't riding it... and I'm still paying the bike off as well... if you know what scenarios they would throw at me please let me know. thanks

I looped out in some gavel on a softail i had a few years ago and got a check from the insurance company. I bought mostly used parts on ebay and made a bad *** machine when all said and done, with a few extra dollars in my pocket to boot. it will only work that way if you do the work of course.

Sounds like this is gonna be 1 helluva repair bill on your friends dime...... and that's just the stuff you found with a quick once over. Hope your friend is a stand up guy when it comes to footing the bill. They say the only thing that comes between a friendship is Women & Money!
I knew a guy who lent somebody their crotch rocket knowing the guy didn't have a license and insurance. Needless to say there was a wreck and fatality. The family of the deceased is still coming after that guy for every last dime he has!

Up side is it's repairable and if you do your homework. ebay, craigslist and local shops used and pull off piles you'll get back in shape fairly reasonable. Don't listen to the doom & gloomers about it being totaled it's far from from that if your doing it yourself. I'm not seeing frame or drivetrain damage and no oil leaking so most ***** cosmetic and just R&R stuff.
