Default Chop, Cut, Rebuild (NO 56k) UPDATED

Well, 3 weeks ago I wrecked my bike.
Not gonna get into details except for I was being stupid off the main road by my friends house. Luckily i had all my gear on and came away with a scrape on my knee (no knee protection, my next investment) and a broken thumb (im guessing my thumb jammed into the road when i was rolling).

Had my ICON helmet, boots, jacket, and gloves on.
Jacket came out with 2 holes but not a scratch on me.
Boots had a couple scuffs, but still holding strong.
Helmet never touched the ground.
Gloves held together perfectly, i didnt see a scrape on them.


Anyways onto the bike and the rebuild.


Heres what it started out as:

I'm sorry to see your bike like that. You're really lucky you weren't hurt badly. Good luck with the rebuild.
