Plastics can be hard to come by and they are expensive. On a 3K bike I would not worry about them scratches.

Smarty pants... since ages ago
I notice no mention of insurance companies being involved ...
A common reason for 3k bikes getting written off ... is fairing repairs/replacement costs ...

It has been dropped off at botany honda, they said from a quick look it seems ok but will know for certain on Thursday. Still trying to track down the parts req, any suggestions on who to call? The instrument cluster is proving the hardest to find

Wouldn't surprise me if it was a write-off. Looks like its missing the headlight/gauge cluster plus damage to plastic parts. All these parts are super expensive.

Look at ebay for aftermarket gauge clusters. My mate got one, wired it up himself (took him aaaaages but it got done, he's slow though). Cost him about $500 for a very nice one.

The key here is why have they done nothing? If it is insurance thing you may find you are seconds away from a green light when you arrive to take I back.
I had a bike needing repairs, Red Baron were taking too long. I went to see the service manager.
Seems that they were still waiting
On payment for the assessment before they proceeded to price or order the parts. The assessment was only free if 50% of the quoted work was carried out.
Assessment fee became a deposit if you will on future work. Saves them employing someone for half a day tracking down part numbers for stuff you may turn around and say " too much" about.
Ask.
If they tell you something you are not happy about take it from there. I just wouldn't go charging in with a trailer just because you have not had a call yet.
Ps, I assume from your post you have yet to discuss timelines with them.
Stupid phone / Tapatalk, apologies in advance.

They were supposed to have done it this week but when i called today they said they were too busy and might get to it next week. Seeing as it only needs about 3hrs of work they must either be extremely busy or fucking useless,

Not time to get your tights in a tangle yet. May not be their fault. If insurance has even approved the work they may have parts on a slow boat from Japan. Find out what the story is and then make a decision if you're not happy. As my boss says to me "always make sure you know what you're dealing with".

Smaller shops get behind really quick because they cannot afford to say no to work. It only takes one 3 hour job to turn into a nightmare.
Bigger shops IME are usually better at meeting time expectations... but at a cost.
First few weeks of summer I expect they are busier than paper hangers and some (or a lot ) of that work will be meeting contractual commitments with bigger customers like farm users getting their business equipment serviced under contract.
It sucks but it happens.
Explain any need for rush and see where that gets you.
