That's strange. I wonder if it is an Australian thing. When I was stationed in Germany, I had the front fender replaced under warranty, and the part was in in less than 2 weeks.

Can you sue the driver / their insurance company and at least get them to pay for a rental?

I feel for you!
I had to wait over 7 months for a Scout I ordered. They told me it would be 12 weeks.
Assuming you had a lengthy wait to get your bike and now 6 month wait for repairs with no end in sight!
One of the reasons I purchased a bike was for helping with stress. (Go for a ride when I've had a stressful day. It does help!!)
Covid has wreaked havoc on so many things/industries but Indian seems (in my opinion) to be having a little harder time getting things back in order.
Best wishes for a fast resolution to your troubles.

I was hit from the rear at a traffic light on my scout $7,000 in damage, it took the dealership 2 months to get her back together and most of the time was due to having the rear fender replaced and painted by a custom paint shop.

This is why Harley davidson is successful. Their supply chain is miles better than Polaris/Indian. The customer service is great..sadly this is our new reality unless a nation steps up and says I will be a manufacturer/Distributer. China is in disarray We need to start making Manufacturing a global thing, but Greed gets in the way

I would be taking the insurance carrier and the offending party to court. Does New Zealand have a legal remedy such as loss of consortium etc?

I feel for ya... waaaaay back in 2002 I was hit in my WRX (one of the first to land on USA shores), car would have never been the same. Buddy at the shop pushed it over the "totalled" limit for insurance and I got my money back. I always lean towards a total loss so I can get my money back and take it elsewhere.

This is why its always good to have a few dozen other bikes in your arsenal!

yes ...it does seem that the further you get from the USA the further down the supply priority chain you get.

When I was dealing with the engine issues with the 2007 CVO 110 engines, I bought an FXR just for the that reason.

thx... thats my thing too.... I thought i was pretty resilient, stress mostly under control. This has made me realise how much my riding is(was) a therapy and how much this is affecting me ,not having it. Not that it was damaged ... Sh#t happens... but that there is not any time line ... heard from one indian rider that it took him 18 months to get a tank. come on Indian!!!
cheers

@Easy -what was your insurance co's reason for NOT totaling the bike? I get that the damage estimate is "only" about 2/3 of new retail, but they had to have had some other reason for not doing so.

yes ... i have been arguing this with them....but not interested... not their responsibility for delays from manufacturers.
.... the Big insurance machine cannot handle reason unfortunately. lots of sympathy (Ha Ha )but never any re assessment.

No better on the HD side, waiting 4+ months for an oil cooler.

 

[Smokeblackrider]

$21000. worth of damage but not a right off .- Front end [email protected]#%ed , tank , highway bars, exhaust scratches but frame etc all okay.

Oh I know your pain went through this last season. I'm very very surprised that $21,000 in damage was not considered a write off. Mine took forever to get parts fender and right hand switch cube took a few months.
