Wishing you a get well.

The bike is most likely totaled from your description. Ask to retain salvage. They just deduct the buy back amount from check. I assuming you still owe on it. Translating, they would pay all but 1 or 2 G's. That would leave you with a wrecked bike but owing very lil depending on amount owed.

No frame sliders. Not sure they would have saved much since there is no damage to the frame, swing arm, or gas tank. The headlight assembly is fully in tact.

Full set of plastics, rear sets, brake lever, passenger pegs, front rim, right side engine cover, the entire exhaust, front brake lever, rear brake lever, right side bar end are all that is messed up. Sliders might have helped the engine cover but that's about it.

The insurance company is saying somewhere between 4-5K in damage. So it's not going to be totaled since the bike is worth 10K. It's at the dealer right now getting a quote form them. I'm good friends with the parts manager there so he will take 20% off all the parts I need, so I might be able to pocket some cash. I will also do most of the labor myself since it's all bolt on parts. I'm definitely going to end up with some new rear sets and a full exhaust system since the can AND the header are scratched.

Yeah but I'll be ok and the bike will be fixed. It does suck but it happens.

It's funny because there was a discussion a few weeks ago on this board about ABS. At the tome I said I wasn't sure about them, but now I'm convinced that if I had them, this wreck might have been prevented.
