Default fricken fracken fricken freakers got me

sorry for the title

so i lifted about 300 pavers and laid them today im a roofer after work my boss says george i need u here at 330 tomorrow of course im like ok no traffic f3 cruisin perfect

go hit the train (nyc subway) sardine my way home walk up the block and there lies my bike sprawled out like hes drunk half up the curb
any way after about 10 mins of screaming (<- lie more like 40) i started checking everything and pluging in what was yanked apart

had to open the carbs flooded and had to attatch the top of the plug after that and my jumper pack cranked for 4 full minutes and my exhaust shot out a cup of gasoline and started rode for about 15 minutes and decided nuthiing was too bad

so now heres where i stand
THE BAD : naked f3 / broken clutch lever / broken side mirrors / broken tail light
THE GOOD : frames straight rims good and no damage to the motor even without frame sliders rode for 15 mins no problems

what should i do now other than smoke till i wake up
seriously thinking 600 rr tail whichever 1 i wont have to bend the tail
and really like the 600 rr front also but if its unrealistic let me kno

Sorry to hear abut you bike. After I dropped my bike for the first time I also snapped a lever off, I ended up buying cheap ones off ebay because rather than snapping again they just bend haha.

You will definetly need to bend your tail for a 600rr swap. Or you could cut off the last few inches I guess but then you would lose the ability to use the 2nd seat. I have never seen anyone do a front end swap with a 600rr though, if you have a buddy with that bike I would try to take some measurements and see if its possible.
