3 month wait (queue) for body shop - is this real?

[zx10guy]

While I was at the Motorrad dealership, I heard multiple customers drop in to inquire about getting a recall done on their bikes. I have to assume it's a GS. The repeated answer was they were taking names and calling people in order when the part(s) come in.

I was fortunate on my bike as the dealership had the part in stock to do the recall. But others on the RR forum are stating they have to wait. This is for a part that takes minutes to install.

People have forgotten how to drive. With all these part shortages and receiver chips still not available bodyshops are backlogged.

Closing the loop.

Accident to body shop appointment: 4 months
Body shop repairs: 1.5 months
Accident to repair completion: 5.5 months

Recommendation: don't get in a collision if you can avoid one, the delays in the entire process are significant.
