I will start calling my insurance co. Looks like is gonna be pretty expensive.picked her up today some picsany one got an idea where i can start rebuilding her
I'd say start with have the triple tree checked to make sure it's still in spec. (correct angle, frame not smashed in etc..) Definitely looks like you need new forks...picked her up today some pics
Everything else looks cosmetic.
Dude. Glad you could walk away from that. I hope you had insurance, because I have a sneaking suspicion that bike is totaled. If the frame is bent or cracked, that's it for it. If not, the front end alone is going to set you back quite a bit, not to mention all the other items, like the tank.
Speaking of the tank, you must have balls of solid brass to do that to the tank and not be singing soprano. Impressive. Most impressive.

Wish you a speedy recovery! i have to admit when i saw the tank, i cringed...
yea the tank was what freaked me out the most i was like how did i break nothing probably go in for xray on right side....they only checked left because thats all that was bothering me at the time....sigh dont even know where to start with repairs no full coverage insurance either
I hate to say it but looking at the front end, I think Nasty is right.. Most things LOOK cosmetic, but insurance would replace them too. Gas tank you would be looking at probably over $500. Any side fairing issue $300 each about, Front fairing $500. Those Forks look pretty wicked and can imagine they will not be cheap. Then you DEFINATELY want to have the full frame looked at.
As stated before though, biggest thing is glad that you are ok, (if we dare say those injuries are ok!)
Im glad that you are ok, and thanks alot for adding the pics.How fast were you going?
Did you trade insurance info with the driver that stopped short? Is there enough culpability on their end to have their insurance cover it?
What was it that dented the tank like that? I'm assuming it wasn't your stones...

I would pull the whole front end off the bike. Replaces triple trees forks and the whole front fairing.check rim for bent. Check steering neck. Ect. If you could find a bike just like your for parts I would do a complete swap. Just my 2 cents

I would personally consider it a parts bike. The frame is most definitely tweaked, forks are bent, all the steering hardware is bent, the front rim is most likely damaged, the tank is damaged.
Find a high mileage FZ6R and spend the winter repairing it.

wtf is wrong with people and not having insurance, yeah its cheaper but if you cant afford to pay for full coverage insurance on something brand new....dont buy it unless you have the money to buy two of em, so when you total the first you just go buy a second one.....and if your that well off youd value your $ and put full coverage on it in the first place. I had full coverage on a 1982 Seca....cmon man.....
Im sorry, Im glad your okay but DUDE I hope you learned your lesson with insurance. I just dont get it.

Agreed, I think I pay $38 month for full coverage with Progressive. Liability only would be $75/year.

Kudos to you Jlente!
Congrats on getting your baby back on the road and kudos for doing all the work yourself and getting it done for under a grand. That's pretty impressive.
I take it you've fully recovered from your injuries as well--yes?
Nice job on both counts. Thanks for the update and stay safe, my friend.
