Default downed 98 cbr

So i went for a ride this morning blah blah blah, long story short i was turning back into school and there is grooved pavement where contrustion is going on. I was making my turn and bam, back end slipped around on me and the bike hit the ground doing about 5 mph. Right side fairing, rashed, footbrake, bent, blinker, dunzo. I was fine no biggie. Im more mentally struck cause i let down my baby. No noises, gears all fine, steering fine. Idk what the next step is? Buy a whole new fairing set? Buy only new fairings to replace the rashed ones? Sell it cheap? Im lost? What should i do. Replace everything?

Fix it then sell it, if thats your intentions? Or keep it...who knows but another rashed bike out on the streets we dont need. Too many of them out there! My opinion is, if you lay it down, fix it.

Hey guys here are some pictures of the rashed parts of the bike and bent footbrake from when i downed it. Easy fixes? Im thinking of trying to sell my fairings and put it towards new ones and frame sliders.

Or find a painter. It doesn't look too bad though.
