thanks TLC, nice bike Stuart, i hope things go well with the rebuild, not the best time of year, bummer, but hey, at least it was a merc, bit of class, not some joy rider in a astra. some times life makes you smile and some times it slaps you in the face, :grr looks like these guys are right behind you :v

Hi Stuart

Total bummer - but I think 2Z might be right here.

I remember from my resto that the M8 bolt is quite long - long enough to absorb the impact.

Fingers crossed for you Bud

The other side of Stu`s bike.

Amazing the damage that was sustained :shock: and I haven`t seen it yet, but after a lengthy conversation with Stu it seems as though the bike flipped over completely !

Looks like there's a good chance the bolt could have bent without affecting the crank the fact the timing plate is not totally demolished is a good sign, on the other side the casing seems to have taken most of the hit. Fingers crossed. UNBELIEVABLE that it's got smacked on both sides. :tick What kind of state are your nice standard pipes in they're going to be thing that could be hard to replace.
