I think I remember something about it being a salvage title.

Why go thru the trouble of getting a new frame for a cracked weld?


Why not just...

Won't that be the case if you take the insurance money and buy it back?

trav,

what about all the money you've put into the 'wrecked' bike? buy it back and get a new frame and just, transaplant the whole thing into the new frame.

I have no idea how much you've got invested in your bike, but, if I had the easiness of getting a new frame and redoing my bike again if an accident put it as a wreck, I'd do it.
You're in the US, it's should be easier for you to 'transplant/rebuild/build' a 'new' bike...

Just saying, at the end of the day it's you and your pillow the ones who decide...Get well soon and start wrenching...

But the insurance company would have to reduce the amount of payment to below a total loss.

You'll be out of pocket for more.

i'm waiting on numbers right now.

from what i was just told the amt i would get back is only going to be around $500 less than the total payout.
once i get the numbers i'll make the final descision.

however, i think i'm going to buy a new frame and buy it back.

I bought a salvage Monster in either MD or PA, I can't remember which, and had no problem registering it in ME.
2000 Monster 900Sie, a few changes
1992 900 SS, currently a pile of parts.  Now running
                    flogged successfully  NHMS  12 customized.  Twice.   T3 too.   Now retired.

I never did it myself but I looked into doing it with a salvage ss frame I had.

Basically you need to repair the bike to a condition that would pass a normal PA inspection.

You then need to have an enhanced inspection done. Your local inspection station can tell you where to have that done. You might luck out and your inspec station can also do the enhanced one.

Then you need a regular PA inspection.

There's some paperwork of course. You'll need to be able to prove the parts you used are not stolen and not from another salvage bike.

It's a do able process. Lots of people go through the process of turning a salvage title into an R title (reconstructed)

you just have to figure out if it's worth your time and energy to go through the process.

Or just spend money and call it a day.

yay, i get to keep my monster!  [moto]

i'm so happy right now.  ;D
i started to do a happy dance, but my ribs still hurt, lol

and i'll even have some money for a new frame or to get it repaired and to buy new gear, after i put money towards the car!



so umm, if any of the offers for parts still stands I'll take them!  :-\
just PM me how I should repay you and as soon as the collarbone heals enough to wrench properly i'll get the monster back up!
