Bit of a back story on this one, honesty is the best policy n' that -
Short(ish) version:
My bike was stolen back in Jan, and in the course of repairing the (mostly cosmetic) damage they did, I managed to drop the bike off the stand with no wheels on it and snap off the oil filter mounting bolt. Before this accident I had had the engine running a couple of times and been up and down through the gearbox and there were no problems, everything sounded sweet.
After various suggestions of liquid metal repairs, I gave in and ended up buying a replacement engine to get me back on the road quicker. I also bought a spare set of engine casings off here to rebuild the original engine with when I got around to it (£350+ P&P for the replacement engine and £70+ P&P for the crank casings).
I've now decided that I don't really have the skill or the time to rebuild the engine myself, so I'm offering it for sale here with the spare set of casings. The engine is missing the following parts which I needed to transplant into my replacement one:
* all the hoses
* starter motor
* starter clutch
* gear position sensor
* generator (flywheel / rotor)
* generator cover
I do have a spare clutch cover which I can include, but it will need new seals in the water pump, plus a clean & respray due to paint peeling.
Ideally i'd like to sell the whole lot together for £250, collect only (at a push I can deliver within 20 miles of Manchester).
I'm reluctant to break the engine for parts but may do so if there is no interest in it as a whole.
Long version + pics of the damage:

I can take some more pics of the engine itself if required, but it's in the shed at the minute so it'll have to wait until the weekend.
