Ok so after trashing my bike for the second time, its time for the rebuild phase.

~New front end (not forks thank goodness)
~New panels
~New frame
~battery holder/battery
~Handlebars
~All switches/controls
~new middle engine casing :'(
And a few other bits and bobs to be mentioned further on. I am going to be ordering most of the parts off ebay and having them shipped here. Ill post a list of everything I get and the problems I encounter. I hope I can help people along the way who have had the inclination to throw their dakkie away after a bad accident, but rather fix it instead!!

A few "before" pics!! Will take some of the bike in its current state now all stripped as much as possible in my outdoor workshop :peepwall:
