I was visiting a friend in Salida.  This is a very small town that doesnt have a lot of crime.  Went to bed at 10:30 bike was upright.  Got a knock on the door by a local concerned policeman at 8:30.  I am figuring it was a bunch of bored teenagers.

No matter the reason it sucks it happened.  Words don't help a bit but sorry it happened.

See you've got two bikes listed.  Was it the SEUC or the Fatboy this happened to?  If the Ultra did it roll over beyond what the front and rear crash bars could catch?

Tough news, I hope it works out well for you. $6,500 is a lot of damage.

Unfortunately even just dropping (let alone maliciously upending) a motorcycle can cause $5-7k of damage.

1. Your engine guard is bent or at least scratched.
2. Your mirror is scratched.
3. Your fairing has a paint chip.
4. Your saddlebag got it bad or your saddlebag protectors got scratched
5. Your muffler got scratched.
6. Your heat shield got scratched.
7. The end cap on your grips got scratched (this happened to my heated grips and it took the electric heating element out, shorting and shocking me in wet weather).
... the list goes on ..

If you want it to be showroom new, all that stuff needs to be replaced at Harley list price and through in the mechanics time to boot.
Or you could probably still ride it but then why did you bother getting insurance in the first place.

I feel your pain but get it repaired by the insurance, you will take all the better care of your bike after something like this happens.

Interested. Who is the vendor?

Got mine elsewhere but there is a site discount here.

Instillation is very easy.....And it works as advertised.
It usually notifies me by text and email of a violation within a minute.
I have my speed violation set at 100 MPH. Got a notification while I was "airing her out" a little last week. 104 mph, the time, and location. OOPS! Could be interesting to see how the mechanic treats your bike on test rides, when its actually being moved or worked on?

It was the CVO  SEUC......Crash bars protected it pretty good.  The front peg when it hit the ground slipped into the lower fairing and left its mark....  front fender, saddle bag and tour pack needs replacing,  engine guards, throttle end, mirror,  well you get the picture.

Your list is very accurate......I was really surprised at the quote.....

Have to think whomever did the deed gave it a pretty good shove.  Sorry for the hassle man, sucks to have to deal with it.  At least it's all externals of some kind  so you'll have no concern about frame or other structural damage.

[D-N-D]

Wow that sucks sorry to here that someone did this to your bike or anyones bike, it sure dose not take much to do $7K in damage on a CVO dose it.

Final Quote from HD is 7100

Wish I could have caught the kid that did it.

Were the bags a major portion of the damage?

I know the newer models seem to have more appeal with no rear bag guards protruding.
I have seen a picture of a couple on the Dragon laid over with the rear wheel no longer in contact with the ground and sparks flying on engine guard and rear guard, Their legs were also not in contact with the pavement.
Makes me think the older style rear guards were worth it vs the nwer models.

Recently my buddies 2014 CVO Limited was backed into by a brain-dead cage driver.

We had stepped into a gas station store and had parked in an area posted for MC only.
One would presume a safe place to park. We heard an alarm sounding and ran out to see his bike on its lefts side howling like a scalded banshee! 

So to answer your question: yes.

Any movement, except for opening an unlocked saddle bags or  trunk should set off the alarm. That is, unless the key fob is nearby.

That's something I'd not considered.  So, for example, if one were sleeping in a bedroom against an outside wall and the bike happened to be parked outside but immediately adjacent to that bedroom the alarm wouldn't go off if the bike was messed with.  If the bike were unlocked someone could even get on it and ride away and the alarm system would have no affect until the bike was shut off and only then wouldn't restart because it was out of range of the fob.

I always liked the manually armed system a little better....

I have to be within a 6-10' radius for the alarm to disable.

I wouldn't take that risk. Park the bike a few feet farther away if your bedroom is too close, or put the fob in a back room.

My alarm was not sounding and my key was far enough away.  I am going to have to have that checked.
