xvs 125 dragstar con rod gone at the pin

I was riding a charity ride through Germany when I had a seizure near Berlin

I have stripped the engine down to the point of splitting to get the crankshaft out.

One con rod has worn to f**k, but to replace, I have to replace the two conrods and the pin at a cost of 200€ plus.

I don't have that to spare at the moment, to repair andd the cost to bring back and as I must bring it back soon, I am contemplating cutting the rod and leaving the end on the pin and remove the timing chain etc to reduce the engine size and limping it back slowly as a 62 cc.

Before I embark on this madness, has anyone had a rebuild and have a spare good conrod available.

I know it's a long shot but such is the desparation.
