Taking apart a broken R1 engine - what's worth keeping?

I'm soon going to be taking apart a broken R1 5pw engine apart before scrapping it. The engine is generally in great condition. About 11k miles on it. It was on it's way home from AB Performance having had a new set of main bearings fitted. Unfortunately, it was dropped in transit and the crank case was cracked, rendering the engine scrap.

Before I scrap the remains, what's worth hanging on to? I'm thinking gearbox and engine covers. Anything else I should consider keeping for spares - stator maybe?

keep / sell anything that isnt broken, or find some new cases and rebuild it again

Stator and flywheel are rare, and a good upgrade for earlier carbed R1 engines as its bigger diameter but fits in the early engine cover
