purely a guess, but if it was a sheet that burned I would guess the heat was hot but brief. I would take it off and give it a good look for any discoloration, lube and use it.

Hey Spikey, 
I have the throttle cables if you still need them.  I also have a stock rear fender if you need that.  I know yours was custom, but I thought it started life stock.

Spikey, thats so tragic. I'm afraid I don't have any spares at all but I know your ride will be back all new and even better than before. Looks like it is going to be a real SOHC community effort as well. This site never ceases to amaze me. Well done guys.

All the best for the rebuild Spikey.

Sorry to hear about your bike man.  It sucks when it happens, but at the end of the day, you can rebuild the bike, what counts is that nobody was hurt.

Have you thought about the frame being exposed to that heat?  Has it weakened anything?  Dont wanna see you go down from a weakened frame, brother.

i had thought about that , but i'm pretty confident that it didn't get hot enough

Allways the Bridesmaid...never the Bride. :(

This poor bike must have been the most nominated ride ever in Bike of the month.

This is truly a sad moment, but I'm sure with the help of this board you will rebuild her and she will win.

I have something you'll need, so PM me your Address.

Good luck with the rebuild Spikey

Spikey,

What a bummer man.  I really liked your style on theat bike.  At least no one was hurt, and and the really tough items to rebuild (i.e. that awesome tank) are safe and sound.  I will look forward to the BIONIC PHOENIX SPIKEYBIKE II.....

Does this experience make you want to change the theme of your welding mask or do you feel one with the flames?

i'm a total pyro, always have been ... it was only natural for me to make a career out of it .i've always been right at home with 2000 degrees in my face.   i think this is just karma coming back at me for all the havoc i caused my parents
(thats not really how i feel, but it sounded good)
