Thats what I would have suggested, my brother in law got tapped in the rear end (hehehe) last year and his insurance bought new tins and all, then when he went to put the bike back together he noticed that his frame was bent in the same spot as your wifes. So his insurance took the frame and sent it to harley and they got him a new one with the same vin stamped on the neck.
