[QUOTE="SkooterG, post: 26650, member: 118"] Know what I would do? Not sure how Canadian laws would affect all this, but take the insurance money, and buy a used fjr. The above however, is assuming you can buy your totaled fjr from the insurance company for cheap. Then you have all the time in the world to find cheap parts, and lovingly put it back together, for WAAAAY less than what the shop would charge. After that, you either have two fjrs to use, or sell one. I would be concerned about the front sub-frame mounting point on the main frame, but other than that, no problemo from what you describe. To hell with the "get a new bike" crowd. I wrecked mine, rode it 1500 miles home. All the important parts were ok, but front and rear subframes had to be replaced, as well as a lot of other ancillary pieces to the tune of $5200. Now that its repaired, good as new as far as I am concerned. [/QUOTE]
