How much you willing to pay? What else do you want?
I've been toying with the idea of a part out for a while.

Ever herd the expression "point of no return"? Thats my gasser. I bought it just over a year ago, it took me 3 months to register it & then 4 months later the bottom end let go. Thats where I should have cut my losses & parted it out, but. I fell in love with the old girl & the ohlins front end was to nice to say no, so I decided to do a full resto. Upon removing the motor I have found the top engine braces have snapped & the swing arm mount in the cases have ovalized from sever vibration (my first 2t in a long time, I thought the vibes were normal). Apparently this can be fixed?
Ive also found that the frame has been bent just under the head tube from a huge front impact & someone has heated it up & tried to stretch it back into place. The swing arm has damage from the rear master cylinder getting bent inwards & rubbing on the side (its not to bad?).
1/ New top & bottem end
2/ Replace frame & maybe the swing arm?
Thats the major stuff, the rest is little bits n pieces but it is a big list. Would love to convert it to a 300 but this bike is a money pit.

Is that parts you still need?
You should be able to have someone machine up some hardened spacers for the swingarm mount in the engine cases.
If I were to part out my bike I'd probably want to keep the wheels and engine. The rest I could let go of.
She's a bit rough. Has over 300hrs on it, but has been maintained. Has all new plastics on it (have 1 ride on them).
I should probably just sell it whole. Make an offer.. haha. Shiupping from the top end of QLD could be pricey too.
