Thinking about buying a clean frame on eBay and putting it back together?
Definitely in the running... i am still waiting payoff and salvage cost to buy it back. It may be worth resurecting. |

personally....unless you have alot invested in it in terms of accessories and mods you are going to salvage out of it...I wouldn't as you'll probably end up finding a whole lot of other things wrong with it as you rebuild and spend a whole lot more money to make it all right and be chasing gramlins of all sorts for a period of time to come...but I guess that is just me... |

Yes... the M1100S...  Bummer. But insurance will cover, no? If the engine is good and you don't mind the hassle the buy-back may be cheaper than expected. It was in my case on a 916 I had. Is the frame tweaked in a way that affects the handling? |

yeah, the alignment at the head is bit off - rotated a degree or two clockwise if you're looking at the bike head on |

Ok all... just heard from the insurance company and here's the deal:
Payoff = $10.2k
Loan outstanding = $8k
Salvage cost (not yet official) = $1.5-2k
keep in mind a new frame is 1500 for just the part and I was not successfull in finding an immediately available frame on ebay (worth buying).
Input? Should I just start over or spend the $$ to resurect?

Start over. Factor in the cost (time and money) of swapping motor, etc. vs getting a new bike soon before the year is out (plus maybe catch some end of year sales?)
But that doesn't mean you shouldn't buy the bike. If you feel like breaking it up you can easily recoup you 2K - but once again this may be a hassle you don't want (dealing with answering emails, shipping, etc)
Or you can just park it until a good frame comes along and make a track bike while you ride your new (to you)street bike.
Does the M1100S have aftermarket bits on it?
Any Q: if you were to buy another bike would it be a Monster?

I'm in strong agreement with you on this... The aftermarket bits were only to the tune of $300. I'm leaning to the cash. With regards to owning another monster... HELLS YA I WOULD! I really fell in love with this bike. I however, don't think it will be my track bike again  . I would use it as my daily commuter and the typical weekend day ride (which this bike was). I was already looking for a track weapon so this just sparks the process of change. |

And you can get bank loans for private sales used bikes - no saying you have to buy a brand spanking new one from a dealer. I wonder how much a 2011 Streetfighter goes for? |
