I was hit. Should i report to insurance?

First of all, if the hit was hard enough to knock the bike down, I'm positively sure the exhaust is going to have damage, even if only dented. I'd get it replaced. I installed a Graves slip-on almost from the beginning, but there was absolutely no play on my can when I removed it. In fact, I had to wrestle it a little, moving it around side to side to dislodge from the pipe. I had a hell of a time slipping the Graves, so that sucker doesn't have an iota of movement, so maybe my bike had a slightly oversized pipe diameter. At any rate, a lot of things could have been bent, including headers (although unlikely), so I'd take A VERY CLOSE look at everything before arriving at any conclusions. Having said that, even if you have to buy a new slip-on, it seems to be that adding the slider and mirror would still be well below a grand, so I don't think I'd involve the insurance. I'd try to get everything paid by the driver at fault, but even if he can't or doesn't want to pay, I'd still replace everything on the bike to make it whole again.

You could make a formal claim so insurance tries to collect from the other party, but since they wouldn't have to pay anything, they usually don't do crap. And you'd end up with nothing from them except a claim on your record, which is never good, even when not at fault. Unfortunately, the bar for best insurance rates if if you had no claims. Even claims at no-fault still count as claims; don't ask me how I know.

Finally, my bike was also hit from behind, but while parked. Fortunately, it didn't fall because the front tire was against the curb. The truck only hit the taillight. It was a poor elderly guy. He had insurance, and I wrote all the info, in case the steering stop broke, or something, but since after a thorough inspection that wasn't the case, I just ate the $60 for a like-new used taillight, and replaced it myself. Good luck.

Just a general note, if you ever get into an accident with somebody without a license or insurance, call the police. At the very least you're getting a police report out of it.

Likely You're not going to see a dime from this guy. Your own insurance may very well screw you if this guy plays ignorant or doesn't respond.

There should be almost no movement of the exhaust system. It's possible a bolt or bracket was broken or bent in the mishap. Check all those connections and parts to make sure they are tight.

Just a heads up, i am a damage appraiser for insurance, minor damage doesnt mean minor pay out, the bar end and mirror have to be replaced, as well as the slip on exhaust, very likely it may need the headers as they are likely bent. even if its a small scratch on the exchaust it has to be replaced, as it needs to be returned to pre accident condition. As long as it goes over your deductible, which i think it will regardless of stock or AM exhaust. they will go after the at fault party for payment. and once recouped pay you your deductible back.

Whether or not they ever collect from the guy is a different story, as that may be why he has no insurance or license in the first place.
