Bike shop says forks OK just unaligned (sorted now) but I will get insurance to check all the things mentioned as well, of course.
They gave me a estimate/quote that it would cost $2,300 to fix all the cosmetic damage (minor things but lots of them).. It does add up in a hurry for sure.
Top box additional to that if I can convince insurance to come to the party ;)

The worst thing is no choice of repairer which means I'll get like for like (in theory) - same renthal bars - I'd rather have the money to get some fat bars :)

Clutch switch failed when I tried to ride away - no go, so they did a bypass on that for me for now.

@gsxbarmy - I don't suppose you have a link for those LED indicators you sent me so I can argue to get some decent ones as replacements ?

That says days not decades!

Well the repair place the insurance use has come up with a ballpark for me of $4200

A bit different but they are planning on doing everything possible subject to insurance approval such as sending wheel away to check no damage a full workover of forks to check straight and will replace seals in any event... Repaint pieces of bodywork which are scratched replace pegs for same reason... Maybe even replace top box.  That'll be twice in one year... Hopefully won't be a third time LOL

Let's cross fingers insurance approve it.
Insured for $8k so should be fine from that angle.

Just over 4 when it's insured for 8, you'll be getting very close to 'cut off' at that percentage.  Hope it all comes out good for you Mike.

They will probably say "Write off" and offer you an amount plus keep the damaged bike to repair yourself.  :doh: :facepalm: :frustrated:
