as said as long as it wasn't revving it's nuts off dry of oil , new casing and fresh oil and filter, but as others have said I'm not an expert just had a similar off years ago mines still running now.As it was nob head pedestrians you've got no 3rd party to claim off are you fully comp ?? If yes then it's a write off , buy it back and fix it yourself if assessor report is ok , if no and you're on a budget I've got a casing you can have for the postage if it helps you out.
The after market can may just be a push fit on the link pipe and the can has just got dragged backwards off the pipe as the bike slide on the road. The strap clamp looks very close to the front of the can, I'd try loosening the strap and just push the can back on the pipe and if it leaks then try a clamp round it

Just message me whenever you can pal and we'll sort it out. thanks again

An insurance related question.How long do you have to think about it and add up the costs to then decide that you are going through the insurance. What would they say if it was a week before you told them.Also on the insurance route, it may just be the picture but how much tread is on that back tyre.
