Default Wrecked the bike, what to do now?

Well, if you have looked at the off topic section I'm sure that you saw that I wrecked my bike last Tuesday. I was wondering, where is the best place to look for plastics? I'm trying to decide if I want to buy new plastics, turn it into a streetfighter, or part it out and start saving for another bike. Let me know what you guys think. I'm going to try and add a pic.

The damage doesn't seem too bad to me. With lots of patience you can gather it on ebay over several months as you ride. Make it a habit to type in search words 1000 cbr, 1000f cbr, 1000 cbr f, cbr 1000f, cbr 1000 f, hurricane,hurricane 1000, etc.

Good to hear you didn't need new plastics (or bones).

It'll buff out.

I'd hunt around wreckers and eventually one will pop up.

If the sentimental value is too high, just fix 'er up!

I flew though the Windscreen off a Deep incline heading North, wasn't wearing a Helmet and got a bleeding rash on my forehead, from landing on my shoulder & face.
I came to on the Median flat on my back a bit dazed & confused.

I looked up at the Bike, it was facing South, picked her up and drove her home.

Found all of my Replacement parts on eBay By the way.
