I'm a rank amateur in comparison!RedBull has competition I see.....
I sincerely hope it is viably fixable , and not a more dead money pit , reinvested , because I've been down that road bro and it is expensive . That bike is obviously your passion Greg , anyone can see that , but even with the best dudes involved with motor builds , you cannot guarantee longevity or reliability . And with such motor builds , at the very least , you do need the best dudes on to it as you can source afford , if like myself , you are not fully adept at motor builds .
When you get knocked down from such events , yes , good to get up and have another go at it , but also good to have a think what is really important to you ....
Do you still desire a bike you can ride anytime you wish , say for example , a reasonably priced etc. Gen 2 180hp+ stocker with pipe and tune that is super reliable , or are happy to have a machine with lots of loving hours devoted to build , and everything about it is fantastic , you can ride , except every rides a possible potential issue ?
This rebuild / repair maybe fixable with the least dramas , even another Gen 1 motor base obtained to build from maybe best pathway ? Then with a good builder signed up like Frank , you should come out of this a happy man once again . There will be a solution no doubt , just be down to your decision on what $ 's needed and where best to spend .
I have been there myself bro , in my more youthful days with my obsession with GSXR 1100 's builds . It is never an easy decision to walk away from a build you have put your heart and soul in , that others close to you have also shared all those good and bad times along the way that these obsessions of ours entail . Just the fact that your ride time with some projects can be so compromised , the actual reason for owning a bike in the first place can be lost to some degree . I guess you got to weigh it all up , project build special with all the idiosyncrasy that entails including ownership pride of ones creation , or something to get back in touch with the true enjoyment of motorcycling , of beloved Busa ownership , the actual ride possibilities such a bulletproof motorcycle offers .
Hope you get a good outcome bro .

Greg, how many sets of rods do you want? I gotchyu!
As I mentioned in you trouble thread, send me the injectors and I’ll go through them. Just mark them with what hole they came out of so we can narrow down the problem.

Greg,
Take some time, slow your roll, decompress. Then with a clear head, finish the disassemble. See what you're going to need. Bag all the bits, and pieces. When I looked at my wrecked ride, I knew it would be some attention to detail if I decided to overhaul, and bring it back. Then again, I had a cracked case, not broken rods. Nonetheless, it's repairable if you decide to go that direction. A fresh case is a good place to start. I also set out to bring it back to right. I inspected everything. All the big parts got shipped out to pros for machining. I've built a lot of engines, but this one I took my time with. I measured everything to the tenth. Blueprinted, and assembled absolutely perfect. When I put it back in, I knew it was right. It's my bike after all.
If you want high-performance, rebuild what you had it like, just better. If you want a bit more reliability, build it a bit different. Whatever you decide, we're with you. We all have goodies to donate. All we need to know is what you need. One thing I might recommend, pay close attention to your main bearing, and rod bearing gaps. Get some professional advice when you decide what you're building, and get the gaps spot-on.
We're ready, if and when, you are !

Absolutely. I am taking my time. It's on my table. I have a set of cases lined up. I'm working on deciding on a replacement crank now. I'm going to need at least one transmission gear as I can see it is screwed up and sent a tooth out the back side. I know it will not be back up and running this year. I plan on next year being back in action. I'm sending everything to Powerhouse when I have it all together for a professional to build.

As long as you're replacing a gear, may as well get the trans backcut. It will cost you a little more, but you've already got it apart...
