I crashed being an idiot and not paying attention to my speed in a turn. (I'm fine just some minor scrapes and bruises. Definitely learned to be a bit more careful.)

Things I broke: 1. Clutch lever (Fixed but still need to get a new bolt to hold it.)
                2. LH side body panel and blinker. (Ordered new front blinkers and fork brackets)
                3. Carbs are leaking fuel slowly out of the bottom of them. (Bought a rebuild kit. Hopeful that fixes it)
                4. Center stand is bent. (Not fixing it any time soon.)
                5. Broke the welded bracket for the front cowling assembly. (I don't want to fix it at this point.)



So far what I've done to it is just remove the front cowling assembly and both side body pieces. I'm gonna just convert her into a naked bike as its more cost effective for me to do. I found a youtuber who did the same with his so I only have to do some slight modification to the headlight to get it on. I have a few other bits I need to fix that are "minor" like rear blinkers, but hopefully I will be able to fix everything and get her back on the road this year.
