If you do buy the bike back and decide to fix the frame have it magnafluxed to see if there is any cracks that can't be seen with the naked eye.

Buy it back, strip it down and sell the good parts then weld the frame and turn it into a dragbike.

there are ways to get a salvage title switched back to a non salvage title but it takes a little know how.

A few years ago some wrecked a harley on bridge and the MOCO requested the frame to see why it failed like it did. Contact the MOCO and see if can get a new frame from them for your old one. Laying a bike down on it's side and totallying it for frame failure is quite interesting.

limited information.
difficult to provide answer.
If bike has value the insurance company may choose to request frame replacement.
If bike is several years old they may wish to just write it off.
(Bad for you most times/less $)
The tab on frame top for engine guard sometimes gets torn out..
could that be the split??
If that is problem, you could weld tab back on.
PROBLEM:
if you owe money.. your opinion/choices might be limited because of insurance and lender.

Your agent is going to get himself a Harley really cheap.
