So..my bike got nicked the other day. Was probably just some hoodies who got bored 5 minutes later and dumped it somewhere
The police found it and it's been recovered, but now my insurance is just being crap. Nearly 2 weeks later they still can't give me a price for repairs, so I am considering just doing it myself.
The damage isn't too bad - just the ignition switch and steering lock. I am quite happy to replace the switch and steering head myself, but the lock is beyond me.
They forced the handlebars to brake the lock - it seems the column is only made out of a soft metal, so the groove that the bolt goes into is mashed and I doubt it would work even with a new switch. I have no idea what is involved in repairing this or the cost of having a garage do it. Does anybody have any experience here?
