Thieves messed up my bike... how can I straighten out crooked fairings?

So over the summer, as I was moving back home after graduating from college, someone tried to steal my motorcycle in the middle of the night but failed. I found it the next day laying on its side in the middle of the parking lot... It looks like they tried to pick it up to put it in a truck and dropped it. My biggest problem is that the entire fairing is probably an inch or two farther left than it should be, which causes the tire to hit it during sharp right turns, so it's largely unrideable at the moment. Fortunately it isn't cracked, but I'm guessing some brackets are probably bent out of shape.

Any ideas about the best way to fix this?

Get an allen wrench and a hammer. Take the fairings off and then go to town on the brackets with the hammer until their angles match the other side.

The brackets are pretty inexpensive new. You could just get the suzuki ones and fit it on right.
Cool.
