Update:
Spoke again with my insurance, apparently the company they use to value vehicles used a base model Spyder without even the SE5 transmission to value my Spyder off of, so supposedly that's being fixed soon.
I also got a call back from Steve at BRP. Nothing was decided on yet but so far from my perspective they seem genuine about helping me with this situation.
Last week I did contact the California insurance commission (http://www.insurance.ca.gov/) and was able to talk to someone about what's going on and how things should be getting handled by my insurance company and BRP. I learned a thing or two about the process and they want me to stay in touch to let them know how things progress between my insurance and BRP, especially once I mentioned the circumstances of my situation and that there was a current NHSTA investigation underway.
That's about it for now. I'm hoping I can put this to bed soon.

I also went through for insurance purposes an added up all the farkles I had bought for my Spyder. I only added up things I had reciepts for, so I actually left a lot of stuff off. Take a look at this list of stuff that went up in flames with it.
Alarm & Phone Mount - $169.96
BajaRon Sway Bar - $249.00
BRP wind deflectors - $149.99
Bump Skid Plate - $159.00
Digital Gauges - $119.70
F4 Custom Safety Windshield - $354.67
Seat Cover - $100.00

Ouch. If there's a lesson here for me to learn it's that buying accessories and add-ons aren't worth it in the long run.

BRP OWES YOU A NEW BIKE AND NOT A 2013. A bike burning up is a serious risk to your life and others on the road. BRP should learn from Chevrolet and not hide there head it the sand. They need to act now before the situation gets much worse for them.
Hope per your situation is resolved soon.

When I totalled my two wheeler I gave Geico the list of add-on's and receipts and they put the amount right on top of the retail book value, no questions asked. Maybe heat wrap they'd have questioned (dunno), but I had a lot of farkles and they just wrote a check, even the $580 for a new helmet.

I been tracking the fires for years and I have a 2011 RS-S SE5 and I taped the headers, removed flammel materials, put heat shields around the fuel lines, I take the canister off and empty it, I inspect the fuel lines and gas cap, installed BajaRon spark plugs & spark plugs wires, installed heat & acoustical mat on the fuel/gas tank, and install air scoops to put more cooler air around the gas tank. I now feel safe. That's IMHO.
