First pic, the bike without the damaged radiator.
Second pic, the radiator fan after I used da beeg pliers and some purcussive persuation to sort out the steel casing.
Third pic, the radiator.

I'm managing to source a radiator and side cover.
The fan still turns if 12V applied, so all looks ok there.
The fuel tank is bent but not leaking, so i think I'll leave that part for later. Runner suggested I have it fixed at customworx, if I have time I'll stop over there and get a quote.

While I'm at it, with Captain Slow's help I've managed to adjust the shock to a better setting, got out one of two stripped bolts with an easy out (one is still steadfastly refusing to budge).

I've got the front fearing almost sorted out completely. This part looked really bad, but it doesn't show up on photies, but just a little more bending in the right departments will sort that out.
