yeah, looks a little different than most though.

I actually didn't see this until today, Also, the brake drum had been forced off of the tab on the swing arm, but not broken. Trying to figure how?

I know the bike was mainly on its left side, my right leg was on the muffler and under the truck bumper. I'm thinking some part of the bumper hit the brake arm, pushed sideways enough to come off the tab?

To fix I'm thinking hacksaw the ends off, weld in a new middle. I don't have a torch, so I don't think I can bend it straight.

You're gonna fix it?! More trouble than it's worth. I'd just buy another one. Less than $20 on the bay of fleas.

Hang that thing on the wall & slap a fresh one on it,,
How the drum disengaged the Tab/slot is amazing,,

Well, what got bent on you? Hope you are fine and not hurt, limpaway.

3rd degree muffler burn, various road rash, dislocated shoulder, worst injury was my left foot. Was under the bike and got messed up fairly bad (google degloving injuries). Had an artificial tissue implant and skin graft, recovery is going pretty well.

Dave, thanks! despite the good advice of vpilot and jog, I went ahead and repaired mine - I decided "what the heck, i have a sawzall, welder, and broken 3/8 ratchet...."
