    Not sure if anyone else has spoken up. If it's cheap enough to buy the totaled bike back, that's "IF" they total it. I would like forks, rear shock and I think you had cruise installed. That's if you don't buy a what is it, 2017 or older you can use those yourself. Any way, whatever happens, 1st DIBBS! LOL! If no one else has...

      The biggest issue I have with taking parts off my current bike is I don’t have the factory parts to replace them with. 
       

      I can guarantee that I would not go through the hassle of removing the Mccruise, it required splicing into the wiring for the ECU, TPS and cylinder 1 ignition coil. Additionally, I bought the factory FJR switchgear and custom wiring harness, I wouldn’t have a clue what parts need to be removed or altered to sell it as a useable unit.

      No betoney, just saying if the frame is tweaked and they total it, a lot of times you can buy it on the cheap. If you buy a newer FJ that is like 2018 or later I think the parts won't fit it. So you buy the totaled bike on the cheap and pull parts and sell them and make some money to buy the new suspension parts, etc. to fix it up. If you decide to buy the totaled bike and you get a 2016 or 2017, or even a 2015 low miles you can put your parts off the totaled bike on yours, suspension, etc. If the frame is tweaked, you have no reason to put the stock parts back on it. You won't resell the bike you'll either use the parts on your new bike or if your new bike is a newer model that the parts don't fit you sell these parts to get money to custom your new bike. That's all I was saying betoney.
