"Front fairing has a crack, silencers and tank have damage consistent with the previous owners failure to go round corners upright at speed."
Succinct.
Ride Well!

I think I'd struggle to see value of spares - Everything is rusted and needs repaint.

I doubt the carb or even loom is worth recovering. Forks need re-chroming, wheels are already cheap elsewhere, etc.

Might see some value out of clocks and rear shock after an overhaul.

Mind you, the cheeky prices we're seeing for 2nd hand parts in some places ... you never know
