RE: I went down
Sorry to hear you went down, i've been down that road myself. If the body damage is not that bad I would suggest looking on ebay for a mirror. I have a friend of mine that runs a start up bike shop, he might have a spare mirror. Look him up @ http://www.atxmotors.com his name is richard, should be a good deal.
Good luck bro.

RE: I went down
Same exact thing happened to my brand new 06 but it was purely my fault. Newbie not having good throttle and clutch control....let it out too quick and went wide on a slow turn into some gravel, down i went.
I put some www.watsendesign.com blinkers on and replaced the mirror with an OEM Replacement.
My front and side fairings are still scratched up, but who the hell cares? My brake pedal is still bent but i haven't replaced it because its not THAT bad. Ride it for a while till you are getting damn good at it, and THEN think about repainting\fixing plastic damage.
Oh p.s. check to make sure you didnt bend your radiator. I sure did but the damage is not apparent until closer inspection.
worst part is i had the frame sliders sitting on my living room floor.
better believe they are in now!

I know everyone goes down but damn. has anyone got theres painted recently that could give me a ballpark of what i'm lookin at for that. sliders really wouldent have helped i dont think because i laid it down in the grassy part of a on ramp but i will be putting them on. can fairings be sanded?

RE: I went down
2 days after the wreck i can still feel it lil bit but other than that i'm ok. my bicep has a deep bruise on it hurts like a ****. are flushmount lights interchangable threw the years? Does the mirrior work the same way?Also when i went down when it ripped my blinker off i think it took the connector with it? Do they come with connectors?
