I hate theives
 

Well over the course of this weekend my hawk was stolen. By the time I get the police over to file a report they found my bike mangled and I do mean mangled in a ditch. Being a poor guy with 2 kids and an exwife I only had liability. I'm looking at totally rebuilting the front end. I'm wondering if anyone would care to give me so tips as to what will and won't swap over so that I can rebuild her faster stronger better than she was before.... TOMisKING@aol.com please feel free to drop me a line with and hints or tips everything is appreciated.

Tom,

Sorry to hear the bad news but at least you're getting it back considering the insurance issue. Could be worse....

Anyway search the forum for front end ideas but if money is the biggest concern, going stock will probably be cheapest, followed by early cbr900r or f4i units. USD are going to be a lot more.

Thieves SUCK!

See my post on "Another fork swap" to give you an idea of cost of upgrading to the 1000RR forks.

Man that Sucks ! Like you I only have Liabilty also ( wife & 2 kids also ) . Stories like this make me want to get full coverage . How did they get it ? If you dont mind me asking ?

Sorry to hear about your loss...

makes me glad I have full coverage, an alarm and keep it in a garage...

Sorry to hear that....will be praying for your scooter needs to be met! I was loading mine on a trailer last week to take it to the shop for chain and sprockets thinking the whole time that I should ask for help....just like my dad says "hardhead".....dropped it in the trailer.....nice customized dent in gastank now

After hearing of your Hawk being stolen , and my buddies Cbr 600 being stolen less than 5 miles away from my house Tuesday ! I guess I saw it as a sign . So I went ahead and upped my insurance policy today to full coverage . $80 more a year with a $500 deductible . Not quite as much as I thought it would be . Seemed reasonable for a little peace of mind . The only bad thing is now I am not as worried about crashing it ! :evillaugh: Knowing that I couldnt afford to replace it always kept me from pushing it too hard . Now I have to really exercise self control ! LOL

" $80 more a year with a $500 deductible ."

LOL I wish!!! $1200 more a year for me

Hot diggity, an insurance thread...Haven't seen this for a while...oh dude, sorry to hear about that...Makes me wanna buy a gun! er...ok, maybe another gun...or 10....LOL

I upped my coverage to full this summer...now it's like $505 for the yr, with $100 ded...
Sad thing is, I just checked on adding the KLR, and taking off the hawk..it would go up!!! what is up with that sheet...LOL

Good luck to ya man...

Sounds like the thief wrecked... hopefully they had serious injuries.

Good luck with the rebuild.

hey if it was stollen out of your driveway or garage or something like that then homeowners insurance will cover it.
