Your favorite dealer should be writing an estimate to compare with the adjusters. The Adjuster will not figure in the nuts, bolts, seals, etc. that the repair will require. Your dealer will.
This is a must... Have the Adjuster meet you at the shop you do business at, hopefully they have worked on your bike and know it well? Eitherway the adjuster will get the estimate straight from the shop, not you. Go see your primary DR. Wait for at least a month before you settle.

As per the advice here the bike is at my Harley Dealer. I am going to meet the adjuster there. My mechanic agreed with you guys, do not cash the check, or sign anything until the bike is done and I am happy with it. That is where we stand. It gets looked at by the adjuster tomorrow. I will keep you guys posted, thanks again for all the well wishes and advice!
Goth, Sounds like a good plan. Lots of good advice above. I`m just thankful you were not hurt. Bikes can be repaired or replaced good people are hard to replace. Take care and I hope it all works out to your satisfaction.

Ride Safe,

Mike
