The end of Oct. I t-boned some lady and totaled my '05 FLHTCUI. Just got off the phone with my insurance company and if I want to buy it back, I can have it for $2057.67. Have any of you done this? I guess what I'm asking is it worth the time and effort? Front end damage only and the frame is tweaked. Everything from the bars back is good, motor, tranny, etc. Bike only had 32K on it. Motor is stock.
To bad, hope you're ok. My question is, why would you want it back. The is frame bent, and doubt you'd get much in selling parts. You have to ask yourself, is it worth the aggravation and no shows for pick up of parts, going to the shipping office to send off.

I wouldn't.
What's your pay hourly pay rate? You could spend many hours taking it apart, meeting buyers, boxing and shipping parts and still would be lucky to get $2000 for the parts.
I’ll give you $500 for the slip ons and the bags in good shape. Depending on where in FL I can have friends or family pick them up and I’ll get them next time I’m down. Now you are at $1500 if those are in good shape.
