Crashed my bike on monday

had the arse end come out on me through a corner due to unmarked gravel and by the time i got it back under control i was on the otherside of the road hit a cliff taking most of the impact on my shoulder

list of damage:
95% of fairings broken
snapped indicators/wing mirrors
snapped brake clutch levers
scratched crankcase covers
lost 80% movement in my shoulder.

being the positive guy i am and looking on the bright side of life there is no real damage to the bike itself and is only cosmetic damage, so im thinking styling my bike up a bit... any ideas?

Shit mate that sucks! Glad you're okay though.

Race rep FTW.
Or go black with heaps of carbon bits

gutted dude gotta watch out for these sort of things on our shit roads though.

doesn't appear to be any frame damage at all?

perhaps naked streetfighter conversion?

dirt bars and stunting cage?

or chuck some repsol livery on it? should be a good year for honda

Oh no dude! Gutting!
I recommend keeping your bike standard with the cosmetic stuff (fairings) anyway.

Sucks doesn't it dude! I know how you feel.

Glad you're not too badly hurt, but bike doesn't look happy. You are insured right?

Jeez dude, that sucks. Hope it all works out ok and don't go repeating it any time soon!

Nasty, nasty, nasty, I hope, just like the others, insurance will do and you're back in the saddle in no time.

Anybody got a spare battery floating around? Want to get my voltage meter done, won't be buying a battery for the ZZR for a few weeks and the CBeige one won't fit. It's a YB12A-A 136L/82W/161H. Anything 12v and that size/smaller will do
