Thread: -->Crashed XB9SX, parts to salvage?

  1. #1
    Hey everyone--

    Last weekend I was rear-ended while stopped at a red light by a sleeping cager. I was thrown from the bike & then run over by the car. I had on my helmet, gloves, & heavy denim.

    Good news: I'm alive & my injuries will eventually heal.
    Bad news: My 2009 XB9SX was totaled--back end crunched to 2/3 original length.

    I'm on crutches & going to see the bike @ the towing facility before they ship it to a salvage yard (probably tomorrow, Monday 9/10). The dude @ the towing garage said he didn't mind if I came by & took from it what I wanted before they shipped it.


    My question to you guys is:
    What parts would be worth taking? The bike was pretty much stock. There are a few things (headlight bracket, scoops, mirrors if intact, etc.) that make obvious/easy sense. But I'm not thinking too clearly right now on these pain meds & I don't want to miss any obvious parts.

    I'll miss it--to this point it had been my favorite bike.

    Thanks to all & safe riding,


    --Finny

    :D

    Get well soon ..I would be interested in the seat if it is a select or streetfighter? Also if you had the tail chopped and it is OK I would be interested in that too.

    Thank goodness you escaped with your life!
    Get Well Soon

    See if you can buy whole thing for scrap, may get it cheap.
    I have had friends do that with cars then part them out before taking to scrap yard themselves.

    If you can but aren't interested, shoot me a line.

    Again, get well soon,
    Anthony
