I am off to deal with the tag department. I kept my Intruder when the insurance company totaled it and it has been a pain in the ass getting the salvage title/registration. But she will ride again!
Thanks to IA member greenhornet (Bob Rogers) who recently passed away I have extra windshield brackets so I all I need to do is buy the shield. The saddlebag was crushed and I beat it back out with a hammer. I will replace them later. I already replaced the light bar with a cheap one from Amazon.
The exhaust only had a small dent so its staying.
Most of the damage was cosmetic/add on stuff. The windshield, light bar, passenger floor extensions, etc. The left side gas tank was bent pretty badly and the rear fender was bent. I was able to hammer out the gas tank and the fender to an acceptable level. You can not paint it before the state inspection and if you use replacement parts you have to prove where they came from and the VIN of the bike they came off. But my plan is to take it as-is with the dented stuff and get my inspection pass. The other stuff has been removed so its not an issue.
After that, I may leave it as it is and ride it. Or I may buy the fender and tank cover and have the bike repainted...again. Riddler from IA painted my metal two years ago. The bike was originally green/black and I had it done with the blue.
I will post some pictures when I decide which way I am going with it. As I said, I may ride it with the dents or I may fix it back up to where it was when I wrecked it. But I am definitely gonna keep riding it because I just love this bike and I also plan to add another bike to the stable. I like having two.
