He doesn't want to write my bike off "it's far too nice for that, it
deserves to be rebuilt". However, he doesn't want to spend as much as
Flitwick M/cycles have quoted as that would push costs into write off
territory. He's going to offer me a chance to rebuild it myself with
funds supplied by them, or he'll arrange for it to be moved to a
specialists in Chatteris and they'll rebuild it by repairing/painting
the cracked and scraped fairing panels rather than replacing them.
When he mentioned that I told him straight I'll be going over it with a
fine tooth comb on its return, so it had better be 100% or it'll go
straight back for another try. With that in mind he said he's inclined
to let me do it myself as he can do without the hassle of me toing and
froing via him with niggles.
He went away saying he'll come back to me in the next couple of days
with a figure to rebuild it myself. I've done my research, got quotes
and prices, and if it's not enough I'll tell him to call his repairers
up and ask them to collect it.

I'd say, you seem to hold all the cards!
And it seems a winning hand ;o)

Royal and Sun Alliance. The guy sid they are trying to reduce the number
of cosmetic write offs because the situation has got a little out of
hand. Some bikes are written off for the tiniest of easily repairable
scratches to a painted frame.

R&SA are the mob who made me a cash offer when my 10R got knocked over
by a myopic idiot reversing his car. They only saved about 20% of the
full estimate, but I was well happy cos I knew I could do the repairs
at half the estimated cost.

I've been insured with them for 3 years now, haven't had to claim yet
though. Sounds like it should be as painless as possible though!
