It's getting closer.

Well, I worked on my bike a lot more and got some pictures of the carnage. The engine was trashed. Here are some pictures of the parts. The plastics look really good and the paint on the frame turned out well.

I can't beleive how bad this piston is. The side is scored from cold seizure and it was burnt to a crisp. There is also that nasty crack in it. It's pretty bad. Good thing I caught this when I did. If that crack continues all the way in a circle, a piece of the skirt can come off and go through my engine and transmission, and likely out the sidecase. It would totally destroy the engine.
