Well hi all. If peeps are interested I thought it might be fun to do a rebuild thread for the 10R that I binned last week at Snet. I went in too hot into Riches which is a right hander at the end of the start/finish straight at Snetterton with cold tyres + too much lean and low-sided the bike. The slid over the track, bounced over the curb, dug in and then flipped and landed on the left side. Here's the first pics of when I dropped the poor old girl off at my place.











Not a pretty sight. She's now in my workshop - more pics to follow in the next post
 
All the broken parts are pretty much off, with the exception of the battery tray and a broken off fairing mount fastener. I had to bend the crash bar up to get it out. There's an oil gallery behind that oily mess in the timing pickup area - I'm going to have to drop the sump to clean it out. I'm assuming I'm really going to have to take the valve cover off to fully check no grit made it up there?







 
Parts deffo needed thus far:

Fairing bracket: 110541905
Ram Intake: 390450035
Light cluster: 230070101
Engine Timing Pickup Cover 140910860
Coolant Reservoir: 430780050
Rear Fender: 35023011727G
Coolant Pipe: 391920089
Engine mounting bolts to replace the removed crash bars - haven't found the part number for those yet!
Indicators

New end can and pipe

I've ordered a pattern engine cover for £30 and a very kind person has sourced me the coolant reservoir ( <3 )

Then ofc I'll need a fairing kit, which will be a Chinese one and either a repaired tank or a replacement tank + paint. Then like a million other bits and bobs I've missed

There's no obvious twists or impacts to the frame, forks or swing arm, so all in all pretty lucky. Mirrors are all intact and work fine, indicators not withstanding!
Clutch cover will need removing and repainting, as will the stator cover on the other side (might buff out though tbh)
