I hate opening threads like this. So sorry to hear!
After you get everything checked out with your shoulder, you should post up some kind of list of parts your going to be looking for. I will keep an eye out here on our local forums.
Glad to see your able to tell the story yourself!

RE: Sad day for Crash!!
Thanks for the warm thoughts everyone!
I do have Full Coverage but I don't think i'm going to file with a 1k deductible. Can't afford my rates to sky rocket and I have tax returnmoney that I can use to offset the outta pocketcost.
A rough looks at parts seems like its going to run me 2.2 - 2.8k to get her shinin' again but im not expert.
I would say that I pushed for the camera and was enjoying the suspension waaay tooo much. An expensive lesson but valueable one. I can't put a price on the lesson this has taaught me and the riders out there that read this and instead of not gearing up, they do.
Injury List: Fractured Rib, Torn Left Shoulder Muscle, Pulled Groin.
Broken Bike Parts:
Complete Upper Cowl Assembly
Air Duct Assembly
Meter Stay
Left/Right Silver Mid Fairings
Both HeadLight Assemblys
Right Mirror
Brake Lever
Front Master Cyclinder Assembly
Clutch Cable
Front Brake Line
Scatched but working parts:
Tank Cover
Rear Fairing
OEM Cowl
Stator Cover
Front Fender
Parts I have Already:
Turns Signals
Right Mirror
Upper Left/Right Middle Fairings
Parts that seem straight but need to be checked professionally:
Forks
Rims
Tires
Sub Frame
Frame
Thanks for listening everyone! I'll post pictures of my rebuilding phase. Have a few ideas going around in my head
On a little better note though, I found out tonight that my sister (24yrs old) Just bought herself a brand new 3brtownhouse today!

Ouch. I did the same thing in front of the camera. But I was on my friends bike, and I totaled it. Back when I was a squid and didn't know what gear was. So I quess i'm saying it could be worse! Oh and my buddy I don't think ever fully forgave me but I did pay his deductable. The biggest slap to the face for him was that he was a new rider and only put literally 1 mile on her before I got a hold of it.
I'm very happy to see you and you baby are repairable.
