I triied I was on the side of the station where no one goes. against the sidewalk even! Guess I better start parking on the sidewalk.

After going over the damage it's all cosmetic except the left clip on bent in 1/2 an inch towards the tank. Another 1/2 inch and good bye tank!

The left Napolean Bar End mirror saved the side of the bike. If the mirror arm and clip on would have held a little more, the Cowel and Fairing would never have been touched. My frame slider never touched down. The swing arm spool/mini slider took the rest of the load.

It's rideable but I can feel the clip on out of line. One day and I can have her good as new. First I need the OK from State Farm to order some parts. Guess my new tires will wait to get scrubbed in!
