Hmmm yes you're probably going to have to hack that up.

See if you can get the nut off tother side then knock it round and out of the way.

Well it's funny you should say that Jdubya...and mechanic has been delayed so the frame inspection has been postponed. Just spent the time removing the fairings and damaged bits and if I do repair the shopping list would be as followed:-

1. New Front Wheel
2. New Front Discs + Pads
3. New Front Left Brake Caliper
4. New Front Speed Sensor + Cable
5. New Front Tyre - Avon Viper Sport
6. New Front Forks + Springs
7. New Front Axle
8. Oil Filter
9. Front Exhaust Pipe
10. Side Stand
11. Front Motrax Mini Indys
12.Left Side Rear View Mirror
13. Glass for Right Side Rear View Mirror
14. Clutch Lever is slighty bent, so may get away with bending it.

...and that concludes the extensive list.

looking at that lot, it sounds like a lot of money.

If I broke the bike up...I doubt I could get much more for the reamining items???

Discs mashed? That's rare.

What's up with the tyre?

Speed sensor? Whole body of it mashed or just the inner/outer/what? The cable is part of the outer (sensor) part. Moulded in.

Exhaust systems are generally free or very cheap for stock systems.

Yep, where the gold section joins the drilled section the connections have pushed out.

Speed sensor...well it's mainly the cable being severed - so I would need the out section then?

Tyre wall has split, where the wheel has cracked massivley and cut into the tyre.

Picture shows where the tyre wall is split.

Just chop the cable around the crushed but and solder it back together... seemples.

Fork springs? Have a look at yours, I've had some proper f##ked forks apart and the springs have been fine.
