Not exactly miserable but it does look very sad

The forks are bent / twisted and the rear LHS indicator is broken but other than that, is anything else broken?

In theory, if there was any doubt about the frame being straight then it wouldn't be a cat n write off. Probably maybe in theory.

In the event of motorcycle falling over in either of its sides with the engine running and the gears engaged the roll over sensor will disable and fuel systems and switch OFF the engine. This is to prevent any damage to the motorcycle and its rider.

To reset the roll over sensor and reactivate the fuel systems.

• Ensure the motorcycle is made upright and is on its center stand.
  
• Ensure gears are in correct neutral and the neutral lamp is glowing in the instrument console.
  
• Switch OFF both ignition & stop switches, wait for a few seconds and switch ON the ignition and stop switch again, to start the engine.

A Google search did turn up a Himalayan owner posting about a problem with their tip over sensor on a new bike but I admit I'm grasping at straws.

The wreck is already up to (edit) £760 and if you bought the frame & forks on the two links it adds up to near enough £2k when you add in the delivery costs for all three. Then there's the stuff you can't see.

Now considering you can buy a new Meteor 350 for £3200 and a '71 plate for £2,200 I don't see much point in buying it for restoration unless you already have the components or can get them seriously cheap, particularly as it's always going to have that N salvage swing tag hung off it.

It went for £1,652 in the end. I second Capt Sisko's assessment: eBay literally had "Shop Similar" with a Meteor listed for £2,200 buy it now.

£1,652 huh? Meh, if they can get away with just replacing the forks then they'll have saved themselves a few hundred pounds

But if they wanted an Enfield 350 project bike then for just £1,370 they could have bought this.
