:shock: ouch! hey, if it gets written off, can i buy the upper fairing off you (looks untouched!)? :D sorry to say it so early but if i don't someone else will and then i will be kicking myself :lol:

It's untouched from this crash (well, a little chip) but it's already been filled and re-sprayed once (shhh... :oops: ).

Besides if it's written off by the 3rd party's insurers they will take it away, won't they?

I think you'll find as I have done it was bike as standard, so I took all the non standard bits off and put if back to original state.

true, they probably will. out of interest then, how much did it cost you to fill/respray and can you tell? i only have a scrape on one edge of the fairing - pretty small really - but it'll get in the way when trying to sell it :(

The front fairing and tank done for £150 plus £50 for the paints but it's not Suzuki quality. That was a friend of a friend though and he doesn't do it for a trade, just a hobby. New decals were about £30 too.

Might be worth looking on ebay, if you do get it sprayed it will have to be the whole panel, pearlescent (sp) paint is very hard to match.

i saw an undamaged blue one for the first time a couple of weeks ago but got outbid by one of those damn auto bid things :evil: it only went for £71.50 too (plus £20 p&p). Probably would have paid up to £100 but no-one was bidding really so didn't increase mine!

I think if I replace it I will just get a new one from suzuki by the sounds of it - £178...

I'm impressed the crash broke the rearsets :shock:

Re: Another one bites the dust... (now with piccies)
 

Thanks for the funniest crash post ever. For that you have my heartfelt wishes for your recovery and claim. :D

Have you got Legal cover if only TPFT - You often get it for free when you get a quote or with house insurance - have a good look for it!

ouch :shock: that's nasty. Glad to hear you're not too bad, hope the insurance sorts out quickly

An amazing amount of damage for a 'light crash'. Hope everything gets sorted out for you, bike is almost identical to mine and which is also TPFT. Might have a rethink on that now!!

Especially like the positive thinking regarding the cleanliness and fuel situation...
