Flooded...

The mechanic at the dealership did not even seem interested in working on it...most likely a total loss, but this bike has a lot of sentimental value to me...Plus I trusted it...it never gave me any major problems or left me high and dry. I hate to see it become a heap of scrap metal. Already looking at replacements, but no similar packages seem available (2007 Classic tourer). Bike had under 40,000 miles on it. Any suggestions how to handle this? Would like to maximize my payout and still keep the bike (maybe gut it later and replace engine and all electrical) What options do I have?
 
If you're going to try and revive it get a new harness and all major electrical components. Replace all fluids even if it's going to sit until your able to get to it.
 
Seriously though folks, you may be fortunate and never have a problem with it, or you may be chasing problems for years - and then have to declare that it was flood damaged when you sell it, giving it a retail value of next to nothing.
 
Yes, please reread his real world post:

 
I like the idea about the spray booth. After draining "all" the fluids, park in one of those with the heat lamps, for a day or two. Couldn't hurt. Totaled, no way. Just need some TLC.

Read it...just been busy...the RV park flooded again last night...got my hands full and have yet to hear from the shop...will see if 8 can maximize payout for damage and still keep the bike if possible for later project.
