Use the guy in Ride as a cautionary tale

He could've just about got a roadworthy one for the price he paid. That project's going nowhere good.

it doesn't take much to cat c a bike, basicly the bits that have been mentioned at dealer prices is more than enuf.

Looks fixable, that. A lot of the damage is dramatic looking, but probably less bad than it is. But the key's snapped in the ignition, bit of a downer that... The LHS clipon may just be bent, or it might have snapped the bolt in the yoke, and the yokes could be damaged as well. Losing the clocks is a shame as well, non-original clocks do batter resale value.
