How much is reasonable in repairing?

[chaplin_lee]

I had an accident and there are some damage on the Phantom TA200. I am wondering how much should it cost on the below repair? I don't wanna get chop.

Head Lamp broken

Handle Bar bend

Clutch Lever bend

Fork need to be changed

Fuel tank dent (should change or un-dent?)

Front wheel need alignment

IU broken

Folk if injured please send to hospital. You don't just change folk when they are not normal. Be a responsible person.

I'm curious as to why you decided to obtain a quote from the members of this forum - who are mainly motorcycle RIDERS or USERS, instead of asking around with a few bike repair shops?

Ya, i got a quote which the shop suggest used parts. My idea is to get a cheaper repair cost. Do you have any suggestion on which repair shop should i go to?

Is the clutch lever bent or snapped in half? If it's just bent, leave it or slowly bend it back yourself. Not difficult.

 

Dent fuel tank, Also should be able to leave it. If it's not cracked and leaking fuel, it's fine. Will hurt your resale value unless you buy a new one, but if u plan on riding it till cow come home, no need to waste money.

 

Fork's get it replaced, will be the most expensive item on the list, probably close to half a grand or more. The front assembly alignment should come free with the forks anyway.

 

IU, go to Vicom and get it replaced free if still under warranty, otherwise it's $100 IIRC. Don't pay more than that for IU.

 

Handlebars are cheap, you can get one for roughly $120 or less.

 

Headlights also another expensive item, but you can get one on carousell cheaply. If not picky, can just pick any old headlight cowl and stick your bulb back inside.

Clutch lever bent, not break.

Dent fuel tank, not sure got crack or any leaking. Have not ride it since the accident.

Fork likely will get a used one.

IU no more warranty.

 

Safety is my first priority, so i intent to repair everything. A repair shop quote me a lum sum to repair everything, swapping used parts from other bike, i would want to know how much will it cost if all the parts are used.

If safety is a priority, you would never buy used forks unless you know how to inspect for leakage and warping yourself.

 

The rest is okay to buy used. Not cheaper by much anyway, if you can source second hand parts from other private sellers maybe 60% of original cost?
