What Would You Do ?

I live in a state where lawyers can fry your a$$ if protocol isn't followed. I would report it to the police or insurance co. so they at least have a record of it on file . Doesn't matter how small the accident it's their word against yours. It sounds like the dealer has exhausted all alternatives to fix the problem except for replacing it with a new one. If it wasn't a big deal I'm sure we wouldn't be discussing the problem.

You are a gentleman sir...I,couldn’t have resisted at least one expletive!
 
Glen, they were 100% at fault due to the fact that you were parked & still, not in an area that was marked "restricted/no parking" and the fact he backed up into you. You are being way more than fair. If they don't give you a response ASAP, then you should give them your new revised offer - They need to replace your lamp with new OEM lamp. even though discontinued, they can still be had from New Old Stock. Being a dealership (no matter the brand) they should be able to source one.
Congrats for keeping your cool! I know that was the hardest part
Unless you called the cops to investigate the accident (which they won't even come out to inspect when it's done on private property/parking lot), Insurance company will just say it's your word against theirs, so they need to man up & own up............. So's you don't hafta skin that smoke wagon

 
Who's your Huckleberry?
 
Soooooo, I rode the truck over there today because they didn't call on their first day back yesterday. I asked what they had planned to do and showed them the one on Flea Bay I would pay half on and let them install. The owner had his parts guy, Roy, go back into the dusty shelves and he came out with a brand spanking new complete unit complete with the lamps installed. They offered it to me for a $100 and installation. I gladly paid the $100 for a new one and forgave them and will install it myself which I'll feel better doing the work on my own bike anyway. Now I can begin to defile myself with gusto. I will go back to them as they did it right with no questions asked.
