Default New frame for my Road King

I slid out on the Road King last August and just now got the bike to the shop (dealer) and sure enough- the frame is "bent"- bent by the engine guard bending back into the gas tank.

They are ordering a new frame (on my approval). Other than the frame, damage was not that bad (and I question a bent frame). THe crash guy at HD dealer tells me they've replaced dozens of frames. He also says a hand installed frame is installed, adjusted and aligned tighter than factory and the ride and control and are better than a factory ride. I know you're probably thinking get rid of the bike but I'm gonna keep it if insurance will pay.

I haven't ridden since August, and I wont be seeing the bike (or any bike) till summer, I'm bored $hitless and all I can think about is motorcycles, new frames (I'll get to paint the new frame!) paint jobs, and riding- so I'm posting to kick up some lively conversation!

Anyone have a frame swap done or know anyone that has?
