Ok Missus had a little low speed slide on her bike and is not very reluctant to get back on it.
Also note not a Zongshen but a Xingshou, still chinese made though.
Have repaired everything other than the starter switch.
Kicks over fine, runs fine and still rides ok.
Right the damage, was to the right side.
Handle bar slightly bent, indicator smashed, headlight broken, rev counter housing shattered, tank has small dent, scuff marks on front fender and tailpipe and brake lever destroyed.
Have fitted aftermarket indicators on front, new brake lever, had the headlight welded up, made a holder for the rev counter.
Handle bars need to be straightend but it still rides fine down the road.
Bike is good for shorter people as seat has been modified to accomodate short leg syndrome.
Bought as the second owner from a bike shop, used for 6 months before the crash has been sitting now about 4 months nearly.
Got it out over the weekend put fresh fuel in it and kicked it over and took it for a spin round the block.
Still sounds as good as the day she got it. (yes I know its chinese and to some they never sound good).
Good bike for somebody on a learners or somone needing an economical bike for work.
Will add photos soon
