I agree, a new bike wouldn't mean anything, this bike has a fantastic, one of a kind, history.

Was thinking about what would need to be replaced on the bike. Thought about the only thing that could be save would be the frame and prehaps the tranny.

Really....Just think, telling the curious: "Yeah, my bike made a round trip to the USA, and half of the trip didn't involve a plane or a boat!"

I'm sure 99% of it will be a new bike, most likely the only parts salvageable is the frame and swing arm....

Why the F would you want a new bike. That bike has a soul now and a great story behind it. Even if it never ran again I wouldn't get rid of it.
