your insurance should have totaled it and you use that money to pay off any loan and then you get another bike. if not do you think that you can build a bike out of all those parts? good luck to you, you may need it

hey man. does ur insurance know about it? you could always get a "dirty frame" weld over the vin. grind down, weld over again, grind again. then stamp your old vin on the frame. its not legal but itll work.

If you plan to use your parts on a new frame, you will have to get your paperwork to state motor and new frame vins to avoid trouble with the law. when custom builders put a bike together, the title has to state the vin for the motor and the vin for the frame if they dont match. same goes if you build a bike
when i wrecked my harley a few years back, one option for me was to order a new frame from the factory with a matching vin the same as the motor. insurance company totaled the bike, and i bought a new one instead.

I think the short answer is IF you have a lien on the bike, THEN it must be insured, and assuming it's a total loss, you can just go out and buy another one.

If you fix it, I think the (again) short answer is do it either way you want to. Nobody's going to care. At least nobody sane would care.

Sell all the parts you have on EBAY… Add it to the insurance money & buy a new bike….
