If it comes off the bike it needs to go back on

I think he could probably salvage the tire and the rim, I dont think that spokes can transfer that much heat, being so thin I bet they cool off well before the rim. Also I would bet the swing arm pivot bolt is good too. But yeh everything behind that is toast. Its just cheaper and easier to replace instead of getting it properly examined and then replaced as necessary.

That'd have to be some wicked over torquing...

This is just crazy. No matter how you look at it, melting a swingarm seems to be damn near impossible yet this guy managed it.

I take it you've had experience?

I either lay my parts on either side of the bike just as I've taken off (like an exploded view) or use an egg carton (or my "trunk" tray).
