Sounds to me like you need to get rid of the damn thing, and start over with a new bike, to me.

Your insurance company might have something to say about the bike not being finished properly, as well as law enforcement...about the hired goobahs there to keep you from picking up your own fk'n bike.

Your insurance company paid over 22 K to fix your bike and your duct-taping **** back together to get it to run ?? Fish eye'd paint??

Boy, your insurance company got fk'd in this deal. There is no way I would accept this.

You got fk'd sarge.

To bad you didn't post you were going to get it, I live a few miles away in Fairfax. Could have brought some more muscle.

Im calling the insurance company tomorrow to get permission to take it to a dealer and have it fixed properly. I've got the codes off the screen (14 of them) but the dealership will know how to fix them.

Worst part was paying $3,900 on top of the bill just to get the thing out of the building. $24,000 was spent getting it from wrecked to today. The major difference is that it ran great before it was at their shop.

I appreciate that. Next time, i'll let you know.

BTW, the place is called NV Cycle Worx off of Lee road in Chantilly, VA. Owner's name is Dave. Only employee ('mechanic') is named Gary. Don't bother with their messy, unorganized excuse for a shop.

The ONLY reason i'm okay with the dealer fixing it, is because the insurance company has to pay for it.

Otherwise, i'd be chasing it for a month like you

So, the bumps in the paint is only minor compared to the fact that the painter charged me $4,000 and couldnt be bothered to spray inside the frenched areas (taillights and plate).
He also left overspray on the entire edge of the front fender, instead of painting it. It's so noticeable, my mother spotted it in 20 seconds.
There's also poor coverage on the inner fairing and windshield. The bottom edge of the shield is all ****ed up.

Basically, I want a new paint job. And for $4,000, this **** should be PERFECT.
