Salv title insurance situation

[Buellstache]

Sooooo I bought my bike with a salvaged title.....been a great bike (XB12R 2008) laid her down once (deer ran out in front of me) but got it fixed up (DIY work) Then my buddy backed into it and knocked it over this weekend (obviously causing damage, broken pegs bent shift shaft scratches all over handle bar damage etc) Anyway he is being really good about going through his insurance (I should hear back from him today about that) but what experience do you guys have about this stuff?

If my bike has a salvaged title and some guy backs into it and causes damage to it, how does his insurance company deal with i?

What happens if they total it (again??)

Any input would be greatly appreciated.......Riding season is peaking its head out and I want my bike!!!

Cheers!!!!

I would imagine that it would be handled the same as any other claim other than the bike's value being less due to the R-title. Or are you saying you never changed it from a salvage title to a reconstructed title? My point of reference is from PA so my experience may not hold true in other states. Here, the salvage titled vehicle has no place on the street at all until it has been fixed, at which point it is given an R title. They may give you a hard time about it unless he knocked it over in your garage.

Yeah It is a reconstructed title. Thanx 50DRO

Any other experiences people wanna share?
