Could have been worse
Most of the damage has polished out
Trouble is this won't shift [emoji853]

Too much even for T-cut! Is that a through-bolt? If so, it looks like a hacksaw job, and then drift the remains out
It is a though bolt but as it's threaded both ends I 'should' be able to drive it out from the other side but it's stuck solid [emoji853]

Doesn't it have a castellated lock nut type thing sunk into the frame on one side Ian?
Nope, it's a replacement part that comes with the R&G crash protectors
Just a long bar, threaded at both ends

If it replaces the oe bolt (rather than going through the centre of it?) It mist have something to tighten against the engine.
Hard to see from the pics.
What is under the alloy spacer?

I've got a replacement Phil
It really is just a bar threaded at. Both ends
The fitting instructions say it just slides in while pushing the old one out at the same time

Belt it with a hammer then [emoji2]
Tried that, think it needs a bigger hammer!
Or I just try and straighten it out and leave it [emoji848]
I've been thinking the same, just need to protect the threads in case I can't shift it and need to reuse it as is

How is the VFR now riding now Ian? Its always the panel fit and handlebars that are never quite the same? Never minded trail bikes dropping unless it hurt but dropping a nice roadbike ..thats different...still stops me spending big time on a bike. Was chatting to a guy recently who pulled out of Fowlers on his brand new CB1000R and dropped it at the first T jcn at the end of the road!
Seems fine
Not ridden it far though as still need to get the crash bobbin bolt out so I can get the panels back on
My shoulder on the other hand is taking a bit of recovery, still not quite right [emoji853]
