My 2002 Monster 620 flat Black was knocked over and the following damage was done:

1. Kick stand bent.
2. Dent in the gas tank.
3. Handle bar supposedly bent
4. Scrathes in the exhaust.

When taken to the shop the guy came with a prelimenary estimate of 4000-5000$ CDN for a bike that was worth $10,000CDN new...I find this ridiculous can anyone find a decent rate for these parts...Any help would be appreciated.
I dont want to get insurance involved because of premiums and other reasons.

Primarily the tank was quoted to be $3000CDN new is this right. Also can minor dents be removed by a good body shop or does it need to be replaced.

Sorry about the somewhat stupid questions I am somewhat a newbie to the ducati brand and any help would be a great help

thanks

Re: Need advice for parts after my monster was dam

There's a guy by the name (and handle) of Norm that is a wizard at fixing Monster tanks. He has done lots of tanks for folks here and on the E-Mail list, and I've not heard anyone squeal about his work. Excellent comments are all I've heard.

I think the going rate is about $300 US to repair and prep the tank.
He does not do finish color, but you should be able to find that locally. Now you can have that custom color you always wanted. ;D

You can search Ebay for exhaust cans if you really want stock parts.
