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...

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.

Thanks!!!! Got the package of parts and bits. I know how the chain adjs work and the cruise control. Might take a minute on how to mount the light bar/assy, not sure what it's called. Do you have a picture of it in a parts fish or on a bike? I can tell this 1 hasn't been on a bike. No screw tighten down marks. And again, thanks!

Yeah at 61 I don't ride much at night but I thought I might hook up some lights for driving in the rain, so people see me or maybe fog lamps. I do ride the mountains in the fog. Thanks for the picture. I googled the mount, kit, etc. and didn't get anything. I just googled the part number and saw the complete kit. They are proud of it but PIAA and other lights can be pricey.
We used to ride the dragon at 1 to 3 am back in the late 90's early 2000's. Those were the days. Not built up near like it is now. No restaurant, store, fire pit and nice motel office like it is now. Just a small building by 2 gas pumps, to take money for gas and rent out rooms. only 8 rooms back then I think. 1 night Dave went to bed early and left his door unlocked. We put Marcus's VMax in the door, cranked it up and started smoking the tire. Smoked Dave out. Rubber all over the back wall and on the ceiling. No Killboy across the street. People used to pull track bikes out there and run them back and forth all day. There was hardly any traffic back then. Back when I just turned 40 or so.
