G'day guys n gals
Just though I'd post an update of what ended up happening with my bike n gear. It may help someone else at some stage...
Basically I took the bike to get a smash quote at frasers... Quote came to around 9k... I thought they were going to write off the bike, however when the assessor came, he found a few things that were just wear n tear, and manged to negotiate the price down to 5.5k.
Turned out they had a Termi kit for the 620' which they quoted 2k for, a new tank was 2k, and the other items were my clutch lever, gear lever, mirrors and a new rear seat cowl. All the damage bar my termi's was superficial, and didn't really need to be replaced, so I took it home and decided to fix it myself...
Insurance cut me a chq for 5.5k for the bike and they also gave me another $1500 for my gear, being a shoei tzx, visor and a new Danese jacket( jacket just got small scratch but the helmet is toast).
I got some replacement termis from a dmf member (thanks dom) for $450, and thats all i had to spend on the bike. Got a new helmet snd jacket, and spent a sizeable portion of the leftovers on mods for the s4rs
All in all it ended up well for me, I just had to send photos of my damaged gear, and quotes for replacements... No questions asked and no disputes. I was really surprised how easy the whole thing was, as this was not my insurance company, it was the other guys.
Thanks again to all who offered support and advice
