Was swapping shocks, torque wrench is apparently broken. Snapped both of the top bolts to mount the shocks in side the threads.

On a scale of 1 to sell the bike, how screwed am I?

I've been doing mechanical work for 15 years and haven't EVER snapped a bolt inside threads before. Because I'm careful. So I'm furious right now. Going to have to go to home depo and get some extractor and a tap/die set to fix the threads.

Also noticed that apparently the speedo housing is cracked, from the previous owner taking a spill.

I'm doing a lot of fixing his brokens.
