Most of you guys should have seen my rubber side up thread.

Well the bike is getting a quote today, I should have it by Friday or Monday.

Anyone want to have a stab at how much its going to be?

Crash Damage

[RPinOZ]

AUD$9,755

[nomad]

$1200aud

[Bacchus]

Enough that it would probably be totalled here in the U.S.

[Cowboy1600]

I reckon your looking at about $2000-$2300.

if there are gouges on the frame.

[Getsome]

after my experience this year with my last one. I would have to say. about 5k american. you do the math. the insurance would total it most likely.

[The Sook]

Well it's obviously hard to tell from those shots, coz unless the frame is scratched or dented, and/or the engine case is split, there is NO WAY it will be totalled. From the photo's, I'd say around 3-6K, but it's like guessing the amount of lollies in a jar without having it on front of you to see exactly what needs doing. lol

[Cowboy1600]

What he'll need to have it back to ship shape and what it needs to be perfect are two different things. THe rad has a few small scratches and a little dent. They'll want to replace it but its pefectly functional as it is. They want to recoat the tank cover cause it has a few minute scratches in it.

After seeing it I reckon he wont need to spend anymore than $2000 to get it to the point where you cant tell it was crashed unless you look very closely.

The quote, however, may be as high as $4-5000

[RepsolRacer]

front fairing, both sides fairings, mirror, radiator, tank, im you go for fairing replacement, verses having them fixed and repainted id say 5k easy

[Cowboy1600]

doesnt need tank(cover) or rad. Only needs left side fairing. Nose cone on a 1k is $430, top left is $360, mirror $44.

[Chain]

If it's just bodywork, then I agree, it's repairable.

I gotta say, the fact Mother Honda didn't bring that red/white/blue scheme to the States is a farking rip-off!

Would you have bought one if they did?

[Chain]

You never know with me.

I just love the patriotic color scheme.

[Mo Noyz]

Put me down for $3k-$4500

[sheepofblue]

If you do the work and replace the upper, lower, mirror but no frame or radiators. I would guess under $1000US to get it pristine $3000US

[Kuss929]

$1 Bob.

[matt232]

Redwing came back with quote of $6735.60.......this included new plastics (almost all of them, but the tank is just being recoated) a new swingarm which only has minor scratching, new radiator, new ventura rack and a new set of oggy knobs.


I also got a quote from someone else who is going to repair rather than replace the parts that have a few scratches and it can all be done for around $1000 (give or take depending on second hard fairing availability).

[sheepofblue]

That $1000 sounds good. Are you doing labor yourself? Also sounds like a combination of the two is the best. Some replace some just leave as is.

The Middle left fairing needs to be replaced, the other damages ones can be repaired. The engine case, swingarm and other slightly scratched items can be easily recoated. The radiator can have the left tank either repaired for replaced without having to replace the whole thing.

Minimal labour on my part, its all being done by a specialist motorcycle repairing I've been put onto. He comes with outstanding references.

[Mattress]

Doesn't look too bad to me, spray paint and duct tape will fix it

Sounds like the second one is quite attractive. Have you seen examples of this person's work?
Anyway it sounds promising
But what about this which you posted the other thread?

My high initial guess included that as the major factor. I'm glad it isn't an issue. Otherwise Redwing's quote sounds about what I would expect for a job which would mean that the damage is totally undetectable.

[phobiaphobe]

Where does that ventura rack bolt on?

The L brackets attach to the Rear pillion peg bolt and after removing the luggage hooks you have your mounting points.

[matt232]

Just spoke with the bloke that was going to be able to repair my bike for about $1000 and it seems he can't find any second hand fairings so new fairings are going to push the price over my excess so looks like its going to be an insurance job.

[matt232]

If anyone knows a good source in Australia for getting secondhand 1000RR fairings I'm all ears .
