Crash repair
Some of you may know I hit a deer a couple of weeks ago. I'm still in the insurance co waiting game. I was thinking about this and what says I can't fix my bike myself? That way I can put the parts I want on it (change bars different bags & so on). It's sitting at the dealer right now but after the estimate / insurance adjuster is done I should just be able to get it right? I'm pretty sure I can fix it for under what they want. Of course I will do my home work first to make sure. I feel kinda bad about this because they did do the estimates and check the bike over but I'm sure I'd have to pay for that. Anyone ever dealt with stuff like this that can give me some advice. Thanks

I had my bike knocked over earlier this summer. I called them on Monday after riding it 250 miles, they came out a couple of days later, and I had a check in my hands by Saturday. Progressive, but I'm thinking it also depends on the individual agent. He said I could do whatever I wanted with the check. Then again, I have clear title to it.

Why?.....Go internet shopping to buy most of the parts. You could probably get them cheaper than dealer prices, which would allow for more mod'n with other aftermarket parts towards a specfic theme idea that you may have in mind.

Because I want some OEM parts. My handle bars and controls (Run/ start, blinkers,high/low...ect) are f-d big time. The housings and the controls themselves are worn down from sliding. I would like the controls to be the way they were. I'm not even sure you can get those after market.
