It had some frame repairs done, though, and since I try to avoid smashing up my own vehicles, I have nary a clue of what to check when I go pick it up.

Besides hooning it like I've never hooned before to see if anything comes loose, what else do I need to do to check and see if all is well?

Have you looked under the car and checked out the paint job and how they attached the new parts to the car? It may be a bit difficult with the cast on though...

Glad you will get your car back today.

I have to get some parts for my bike, as I laid it down on a bumpy road curve with an oil patch on Sunday.

If it suddenly looks like a 2CV with fins, that's a warning sign right there.

Frame repairs? Oof.

I'd check the alignment report and make sure it tracks correctly.

And toss it around good on the track, of course. See if any handling/response quirks been added/removed.

More so than the bike is.

I have the parts on order other than the fairings. But the total with the fairings? $1200

That's not bad for laying it down. As long as I can get the oil pressure light to work correctly...
