Hosed by St8 Farm?
I got caught at the Buffalo Chip in Sturgis in the hailstorm. I have 10 dents in my front fender, and 1 big dent in my tank. St8 farm will only fix my tank and fender, they will not replace.
Have any of you had factory paint matched at a paint shop?
Any tips on getting them to just replace them?
Thanks

I am very picky and can see your point. I too would be worried about a match. I'm with State Farm and have never had any problem in working with them.

All insurance companies have gone to a system where they do anything in their power to shortchange you on a claim. Get your facts. Go get two estimates on the repairs from shops that specialize in bikes and then get the price on replacement steel from HD. You may be able to prove to them that it's cheaper to replace.
You can fight with them on this a bit too. You can press your point, move up the line to a supervisor. Especially if you have other policies with them too (auto, home owners, etc) If you do, you can threaten to take your business elsewhere if you're not given satisfaction. You will need to be able to back that up if they don't satisfy though. If you or any family members have been in the military, USAA is a great company as insurance companies go. Make the switch.
