Yeah PEMCO put me through Progressive for Cycle insurance. I think I'm going to check around it seems a bit high compared to other's rates. There was a thread about motorcycle insurance rates on this board a while ago. I can't find it at the moment.

If I am looking at the damage from the first pic. I hate to be the person to say it but in no way is that 15k in damage. No too mention you would have a hell of a time having an INS co. pay 15k for a salvaged bike. I saw your last thread on the bike when it was totaled before. You mentioned no INS co will insure it for full coverage due to being salvaged. Were you able to get full coverage after the last time it was totaled? Not to be noisy but you mentioned you undervalued it and the INS co. paid more then your 10k value last year. Did you get over 10k? But from the sounds of it you seem to have a good handle on INS co's and claims so good for you. Good luck and keep the forum updated because I am sure most of us would like to have our CB's valued over 15k!

Tews19 its only 12k I was thinking it was more.. also yes the bike is way worth that and maybe more.
the way it works with older bikes or attest the way I've done it, is you can have the bike insured for a set amount say 12k and that then sets the value of the bike at 12k. You are paying way high rates if you do this. but when not if your hit or the bike is hit and totaled you know you would get enough money to fix or rebuild the bike.

and to answer the other question about if i got full coverage HELL YES i made sure that i could before rebuilding the bike or i would have found a new frame to build off of. with that said my ins will pay for any damages first and then go after the other INS. this is the 3rd time in a year I've dealt with this type of thing so I have pretty good understanding at this point of how it works most the time. and to your question about the damage not being the full amount 12k I in no way said or believe it is that BAD AT ALL but.... the funny thing about bikes are they tend to be totaled very easily but i still have no idea what the adjuster will say about the damage. i'll let you know when they come.

let me know what you find? i'm really happy with how they handled everything for me cutting checks in less then a few weeks after crash and easy to deal with but for sure not cheap.
i think i was part of thats thread and if I remember right it was a lot of people that used cheap INS plans for old not as nice bikes
