Thanks, The bike is a 30yr old airhead GS Paris Dakar, I was riding with friends on a gravel fireroad an biffed it into a tree, Smashed the bars, tank, and tore up the starboard jug, along with a broke leg, foot and separated shoulder.

The bike is insured, but I'm not going to make a claim since it was all my doing, That and the fact insurance wouldn't give me much for it anyway.
I'm a pretty good wrench so will do a rebuild this spring. The hardest part will be finding a new tank.

If you're on Facebook there's several Beemer bike and parts sites you might try that. I Lao know a guy in s. Illinois that deals in used Guzzi and BMW parts bikes. His pricing is fair. If you need his number let me know ..

I'd still claim it and let the ins co total it but only if they have a "buy it back" clause. Like John said. May as well let the ins co pay for some of the parts. That's what you've paid premiums for.
