Default First crash fix-up :) Tips before I ride?

So I worked on my bike for the first time. It was really simple work, but it still feels great. So now my bike is rideable for the first time since I wrecked it. All it needed was a replacement left rearset. I replaced that, and also the clutch lever since it was bent back. Now all that is left is a bunch of cosmetic work.

Any tips before I start riding again? Or any inspections I should do to make sure the wreck didn't mess up anything on the bike?

Here are a few pics

I think theres a checklist for this sort of thing in the maintenance manual for this bike. Not sure where I remember seeing it now. It doesn't sound like the bike took a big hit, and it would probably be fine.

If it was me I would take it to Honda dealer and have them give it a good once over before I rode it again. Even if it was just for some peace of mind.

CBRs are tough bikes. Visually inspect for any leaks...& keep an eye on it. Sometimes leakes won't develop til later.

As for your bent clutch lever... If you haven't tossed it, put it in a vise & heat it up a bit...then take a mallet & bend it back into shape. If it works (I've done it successfully), you'll have a spare. ;-)
