Glad you're all good

UPDATE:
They are gonna put it on something that pulls the frame and make sure its spot on. So far they're thinking it wont have to be totaled out and it'll take about 3weeks worth of work. Also my insurance is replacing all my mods and even replacing my bent wheel. I'm pretty happy but... scared of how it will affect my monthly dues to them. I'm sure they're gonna sky rocket

you'd likely come out better that way. when I totalled my 09 R1, i had $3000 in parts on it, and my insurance only paid me 20% of that. so i only got $600 for all my parts i had bought probably 2 months before the wreck. my exhaust on my bike cost more than what they paid me =\

she was a beauty too =(

I agree. It'll also give me a chance to repaint the headlights and the grill (going with my oem color). Possibly doing an iron man mod to the headlights as well

Woot, CG's! minus the skyrocketing insurance. You don't have accident forgiveness? Well, depending how all this turns out with your insurance, it will be a true test to how their service is when you need them. After all, how much money have you given them all these years?

Actually just switched to them after being accident free with nationwide for over 5 years. December marks one year with them.... lol.

Did you end up replacing her? I want a Ducati 1199, but that'll be down the road...

Some of the parts' value can be added to the car when the insurance calculates the value -- meaning a bigger payout.

Alternatively, you could pull off whatever you have tools for -- the insurance company will probably want replacements (i.e., if you have aftermarket sways, they'll want the originals or they'll deduct that from the value of the car).

Good luck!

As long as the crumple zones are intact I would be ok with driving a car that had the frame slightly pulled

Very common occurrence in the autobody business and perfectly safe and legal. It's not like you're building a race car anyway there should still be plenty of structural rigidity

To be honest they think it might not be bent but they're gonna level it (is that the right termonology?) before just handing it over to make sure.

So is there a way to avoid getting it reported... Cause that sucks lol jk.... not really (if you know PM me... It'll be our secret....). I thought about selling it to be honest. I just hate car shopping with a giant passion.

yah no idea how that works. but wat i do know is that when i traded in a car with $5K+ damage the same day i got it back from the bodyshop due to some middle aged woman backing into my wife at a parking lot, the dealer that accepted the trade said the car had clean carfax so they would give me a great trade on it. even while it still smelled like paint.

so i came home with a new car.
