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.

Personally, I wouldn't take the risk. I would probably replace everything from the swingarm pivot back. There's plenty of wrecked bikes out there from which to get surrogate parts.

Could probably get a complete rear assembly cheaper than all of the separate parts that need to be replaced anyhow (to say nothing about what it would cost if you miss something)

agreed, just replace everything from the swingarm, and back.

I will agree with the tire and pivit bolt. But as far as the rim & spokes. I'm going to say ok, maybe, but the hub is toast so just buy a new rim. Cheaper and easier.

Minor update, the spacer was on the bike when the guy took the hub apart, it was fused to a bearing and because the bearing lost all the balls or rollers it was pushed way back into the hub. Either way the hub is toast too.

From what it looks like is that he either over tourqued the swing arm or something just failed out of no where.
