Maybe you should part it out. You can always buy another if it has that much damage

 

[resurrected_jimmy]

really depends on how bad it is and what you expect afterwards.... my old burb wason the frame machine 3 differnt times... it drove straight after various repairs. I retired it at 212,000 miles and parted it out for my k5

You could always purchase a Second k5, and just swap your stuff over.

We definetly need some pictures of the damage though...those are mandatory.

lol

must have been a hard hit. I've been hit twice in the fender. Only bent the fender. Frame came out OK. However it was a side blow. Not head on.

Photos of said damage would be nice.

Depends on how hard it is to find clean K5s in NY. IF you can find a cleanish stocker with a blown engine or something for a reasonable price, I'd swap everything over to the new one.

Yep, pics or it didn't happen.

x4 or x5 on the pics . I'd buy the other one and swap the goodies over instead of messing with a trashed frame. These frames have enough trouble with the steering box area as it is.
