Cat "C"

[ghostbiker]

Ok i thought i would start a new thread as it relates to the question of CAT "C" rather than my off.
I was knocked off through no fault of my own and the other side have been to see the bike and declaired it a CAT "C" write off.
est for repairs on a gen 1 1000 2004 was £4492 inc vat and labour
value of said bike is marked down at £3722 and they wont budge and will only cat C it
going to fight this and try to get it repaired so my pride and joy isnt tagged a writeoff for the rest of its hopefully long life. but i doubt im going to win the battle.


SO on to my question....
Whats the deal with getting a cat c fixed and back on the road? given the chance i will buy the bike back and fix it up as it has so many extras added to it.
where do i stand legaly doing this? is it hard to do? do i need an inspection etc? am i gunna get hit on a loaded insurance?

that type of thing. must be some of you done this in the past
