2013 SE knocked over in lot, damage assessment
So my 2013 SE was knocked over in my work parking lot by an inattentive driver.
She got the receptionist to get me and was nice about it but now I have some damage assessment to do before her insurance person looks at it. I was hoping to get some insight into some damage that may not be visible. First, I do not remember the tire line not lining up with the front fender center as seen in the attached picture. Could her car have knocked something over on the front tire? I was able to ride it home and it felt ok. Second, my T-rex frame sliders took some of the brunt of the damage so I do not think i need to replace my fairing but it looks like the slider mount flexed into the top of my head leaving a small dent (pictured). Any thoughts? Should I be concerned about the head? |

The insurance should cover the slider but i would recommend upgrading to the Shogun sliders, this is what i did. Still no cut but it has two mounting points and they are very solid. Hope they take care of it all for you. Nice to her she didn't hit and run.

I'm not seeing any mechanical damage in the picture with the head there, but though to tell looks like the fairing and the slider took the brunt of the force
+1 for Shogun sliders

Thanks for the info, yeah maybe that bracket is bent. I'll add that bracket to the things I expect to get replaced. I put it on a front stand and spun the front wheel to make sure it is not bent and I did not see any wobbling.
Judging from the damage to the left of the front fender and right of the bike, I am guessing she was backing out of the spot next to me and cut the wheel too soon hitting the left side of my front fender and knocking the bike over... Yeah her insurance will cover it, a guy is coming out today to look at it. |

Normally the insurance adjuster would came out and inspect it at a shop with a mechanic.

I never had to do a claim on my bike because I dumped it without full coverage because well i bought all of my bikes for sub $2000 but is there possibility of total loss because plastics are expensive to repair and replace?

Doesn't look like it too me. when my bike fell in the driveway (kickstand gave or wasn't down rite) they wanted to replace $2500 or so in parts (SE fairings are f-ing expensive) without totaling it. i think they will repair it if its less than X% of the value of the bike. I'm not sure of the number so someone probably can fill in the blank there.
