Yzf450 holed cases

[potta9]

So here I am on the upramp to the big step up (appin club round) committed 3 gear wide open and bang. Another rider hits me on the way up causing my chain to break and me hitting the ground hard while also completely annilating the left side engine case where the clutch actuator shaft goes down into the engine. I've been searching for parts for a few weeks now . (before anyone says weld it) the piece that's missing is approximately 40x75mm and it's not fixable . I've organized a bearing and gasket kit from yamahahaha. But the cases from them are over 2k so if anyone knows of a wrecker or something of the sort would be much appreciated. It's an 08 model by the way!

Check out the US ebay . A lot will break up newish bikes down to nuts and bolts far more so than here .

Also there is a web site "boats .com " (something like that google search it) that has parts lists for a lot of bikes with an attached price list for what they have in stock .
They have a new barrel fo my 98 WR @ around $300 us and Yamaha aus has them for nearly $1200
