Dented tank and various scratched parts will total a Monster.     Insurance does not authorize tank repairs, only replacement.  Keep in mind, depending on state law a "salvage" bike will have salvage title and you may have to go through some hoops to get a reconstructed or rebuilt title and have diminished value.  If your local shop has a relationship with the adjuster you might get an estimate a little short of total, saving the grief of salvage title.

If applicable,  [thumbsup]


FWIW, my monster high sided at 40. broken clip on, front brake master, rearset, damaged tank (plastic, so no dent but ground down where it slid), crushed arrow can, case cover scratches and some banged up speedymoto sliders.

clean title and state farm approved tank repair over replacement.

I had a similar damage / experience with Progressive.

you could use filler, or you could use the money to buy another used tank off eBay.

the abrasion was barely through the paint, I still have the tank and would have no qualms about repairing it and running it.
