Default Killed my f4

Hey guys, had a bit of a spill yesterday on my f4, tank slapper at 50 ish mph, straight into a grass verge. Haven't seen it since as messed myself up a bit! Have fractured T4 vertabrae and broken a couple of fingers! Hoping the bike isn't going to be TOO bad. Policeman rang today and said it looks quite superficial, but it wouldn't start. Needless to say, I will be using all your advice and knowledge to get her mended and back on the road! Will post some pics up when I see her again, to get all your verdict! Cheers.

Sorry to hear about the mishap. Just focus on recovering yourself first, that's way more important than the bike.

Get well soon!

Right, an update on my bike, to repair I need new;
Nose fairing
RHS fairing
Mirrors
RHS indicators
Throttle tube and grip
Brake lever and pedal
Clutch cable
Screen
Mud guard
Think that's it! I have ordered most of the parts already, however I now have a problem, the RHS fairing mounts on the frame and the engine one, have snapped off. What would you do about fixing these?
Cheers

You should be able to replace them at an OEM parts dealer like honda4u or bikebandit.
