Bike Damage

We'll I'm an idiot and didn't pay attention to my camera settings so the first couple pictures of damage didn't come. But you get the idea... I'm not sure exactly what happened, but I was coming through a swooping S turn in New Milford and when I went to pull the bike up from the right when I went left the bike simply went down and away from me. I took the brunt of the force, and the frame sliders saved all the mechanics. I think it see-sawed on the frame sliders and crushed the left side headlight housing braking the Fairing-Stay (main front bracket)

The exploded front end:



Naked in about an hour:



I do <3 working on bikes because everything is accessible and pretty much the same common tool.

So far I've ordered all the major replacement parts for it and they are on their way. As for the Fairings I purchased a Fiat/Motul Moto GP Street Replica, and I'm modeling the bike after the Yamaha M1:
