It does not look that bad to me. I would buy the parts as you get the $, after fixing the brakes and clutch levers of course. A lot of it looks cosmetic to me. It hurts seeing our baby with dents and scratches, but they can be fixed in time. I would be skeptical about that spill bending forks. I would not replace till I took them off and examined them. But if they are scratched or bent they are toast.

Are you sure the triple tree is bent? I'd loosen the bolts an re-torque the front axle as the forks might be tweeked, common occurrence on dirt bikes. Usually if something is going to bend it is the upper fork tubes not the triple tree. Either way the other damage looks minimal. A set of forks off ebay shouldn't cost much more than about $100, maybe another $15 for a brake lever, triple tree $25. Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T _____

Unfortunately the occasion now is a lay down, and advice sought. Should I fix it or let insurance call it a total, and give me a check for book value? Going about 25mph on a busy, straight multi-lane suburban street with many stores, shops, mini malls. A car pulls out from McD's and stops in the lane, about 50 feet in front of me. (She was coming out of a parking lot trying to make a left turn, but traffic would not let her in. I applied brakes hard and had a rear wheel spinout. Bike went down dragging me about 20 feet on the ground. I did not hit the car that caused this disaster. I only hit the ground. My entire right side is badly bruised, but thankfully no broken bones. The right side of my 91 NH is damaged: - bent upper fork clamp (the part that holds the handlebars in place) - bent handle bars - bent brake pedal - scratched fuel tank, pipe, engine fins, front fender, headlight case - broken wind screen I can live with the scratches, but would have to replace brake pedal and the damaged parts in the upper fork (handlebar clamp, handlebars, etc), and headlamp. I love the bike and would prefer to keep it rather than buy a new or new used bike. Any ideas on how much this would cost to fix vs how much the bike is worth? It was in excellent shape with 17K miles. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
