I wrecked yesterday at lunch. Hit the breaks too hard, front end slid on me, low tread and some road salt. I have a broken clav and thumb. My gear did it's job, new Alpinestars didn't fair so well. On a better note, most of the damage was to parts I've planned to replace on my rebuild. The tank is a goner, gauge cluster has a cut in top left, left Termi CF is cosmetically ruined, small 2.5" road rash on front rim, left bar/end is done. Frame seems to be fine. So this adds a new twist to the rebuild. So far I've sourced forks/triple, wheels. I've been thinking about going with a Quat D, not sure which setup to go with on ECU. Keep DP ECU add PC III, or Nemesis if available, since I was wanting a Motogadget Classic thus eliminating immobilizer. I'll be dropping the engine, having the frame painted. On the hunt for a CF tank. Trying to look at this from all angles. Wanting some advise where to start? Never been in this situation.

Sorry to hear you hit the deck.  Sad
Get well soon!

Is the bike fix going to be an insurance job or your pocket?

Haven't seen the tank, but unless you really want a carbon tank don't write off your steel one.

You'd be amazed at what can be fixed.

I'm not looking to buy.

You said this was out of pocket.

Just trying to point out that you could save some money by repairing.

I know, I'm asking what you thinks it's worth is? Since I'm going all out, might as well go all out.

The way it sits?

$50

Repaired and painted?

With the way things are going with the plastic tanks you might have a commodity. Wink

I'd rather have a dented metal tank than my plastic one with tumors. Tongue

Sadness, hate to see my bike in this state. Least I'm ok, and it's rebuildable.
