Crash bar did a good job on helping too push the head back..
Left cylinder head has mud on it..

Saw a similar one in the Alps a few years ago , he clipped the front end of a car during a stupid overtake
That's a lot of money for a pile of scrap.
I think people think they are getting the whole bike
From the ad:
Decent money in the heads and transmission. Shame one of the stubs is ripped off.
Given that the engine was probably running when the r/h conrod got banana-ed, I wouldn't hold out much hope for the crankshaft either.
I wonder what that kind of catastrophic engine stop does to the entire transmission line?

Whatever the zorst is made from / formed, I'd be using that as a crash bar ...

The block is definitely cracked in the other pics. There isn't going to be much salvageable there. I wonder how the rider faired? He might have gotten away with it if he parted company and ended up in a field. I hope so.

Looking at the crash bar and the cylinder I reckon there’s 2 dents in the back of the tank

They really did that properly. In contrast, mine was only a half arsed attempt.
I recall seeing an Airhead on the road from the circuit to the supermarket at the Bol D'Or in 1981 - he'd run wide and completely removed a cylinder (sorry no pics!). They were just loading it into a van to get back to the UK (luckily he'd found someone to do that - imagine the hassle otherwise).
The only public road I've seen with marshals, straw bales, flags etc..... (TT doesn't count 'cos the public can't ride on it).

Have you looked at getting the block "cold welded" ?
Remember seeing it being done on a cracked block.
Worth investigating.
