John, that's beat to heck!

I'd be suspicious of the coupler too and something else to look into
is to see if there was any seal damage done to the rear end. I hope
the drive shaft isn't bent.

Some people might say I must full of "good news" about this, but when
you consider that type of consequential damage there could be more
than just replacing a u-joint.

The carrier bearing is in good shape, and the joint was still fitting
snug therein. That's good news. The destroyed end is the transmission
end. The visible splines slide onto the transmission output shaft.
The transmission seemed OK, but I'll put it through the gears and give
it the stethascope test before reassembly.

The bike has to be ready for a trip north in about six weeks.
