Default Deer!

Good morning - I recently had a deer decide it just had to cross the road when I was coming home - Bike down, stitches and staples - Bent the frame and the gas tank is toast - Local Harley shop said 2K for a frame and another 500 for premiered tank


Would really appreciate if anyone could provide direction where to source these at a reasonable price - Need good connection here to assist


Thanks Dano

check the classified section for a tank.

frame- you are stuck with HD.

if this is an 09 up and the damage is restricted to the tail section, it is a bolt on and you can swap in a FBI rear kit or find someone who has and buy their stock rear end.

frames are sometimes judged to be "totaled" for as little as bent crash bar tabs.

heal up and don;t make any quick decisions....you got banged up and are probably doped up too.
