why even claim it???? all you had to do is find the parts on ebay and put them on yourself and it would have been a hell of a lot less than $500

rrob1399 · 11-25-2007, 05:19 PM

but to replace them alltogether would be more then 500thell add labor and ill fix it

50Outlaw · 11-25-2007, 05:26 PM

+1

Claiming that is the dumbest shit I have ever heard. You barely did any damage. Det the shit off ebay and it will be less than $500 and you wont have the claim on your insurance record

rrob1399 · 11-25-2007, 05:34 PM

according to geico they said it wont count against me thats what i pay for. i agree but its hard to find this color fairing

rrob1399 · 11-25-2007, 05:35 PM

not to mention im trying to trade the bike for a bigger bike

oh my god... now the value of it is going to drop even more because it will be on record that it was wrecked!!!! you seriously shouldnt have claimed this

crtchrktrcr · 11-25-2007, 05:45 PM

if you're smart you'd get insurance, they will replace EVERYTHING.. then you sell either the new fairings, or the lightly scratched ones and make your cash back.. duhh

Sgt.Stud · 11-25-2007, 05:48 PM

do whatever you want dude, i agree with every response to your question on here so far. Dont claim it, thats retarded. Of course Geico wants you to claim it, all around thats more money for them. From the 500 they may give you for the claim, your gonna double that within a couple months of payments now that your rates have gone up. and they will sooner or later.

+1, but your still gonna loose money in the long run, rates dont go back down for a longgggg time.

rrob1399 · 11-25-2007, 05:53 PM

even if they go up i only pay 46 dollars a month for full coverage ..not to many people do carfax on motorcycles before they buy them atleast i dont.im saying i have insurance i pay for it for what?/not to use it ??? i dont know but there gonna look at it and tell me what its worth then i can decide if i want to continue or not

rrob1399 · 11-25-2007, 05:56 PM

if you hold continuous insurence rates drop mine drop a little every 6 months not to mention im in army to so its a little cheaper.and use another address also

JD · 11-25-2007, 06:04 PM

That's because your in the highest teir and I bet you won't be once you claim man

k-fos23 · 11-25-2007, 09:20 PM

why would u ask a question and when ur given the best advice u argue against it. makes no sense and good god its not that hard to replace fairings why the hell would u want to pay someone to do it

rrob1399 · 11-25-2007, 09:27 PM

lets see ican fix it myself then sell the scratched fairings so if i dont claim whats the point of having insurance im not arguing at all this is the way i type

k-fos23 · 11-25-2007, 10:46 PM

the point of having insurance is if u actually crash your bike as in major damage to the vehicle another vehicle or bodily injury in a crash not some squid ass move u did pulling out of your driveway and when u reply the same thing about putting it on ur insurance when we tell u not to that is arguing. we are here trying to help u but u dont listen. so im gonna tell u what everybody else has said ready pay attention
1 cancel your claim
2 log onto ebay
3 bid on plastics
4 when they arrive install
this will make the value of your bike stay higher if u want to trade it in like u say u do
5 when u have a whole group of people telling u something pay attention not all of us are trying to fuck u over we are trying to help
aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh frustrating as all hell
