So heres the damage. like i said I dont really care about the pipe I plan on replacing it in any case with a slip-on. The brake lever needs to be bent back but otherwise the brake system seems/feels okay. The bars ground a bit but otherwise are fine, nothing seems misaligned when I went for a ride. the main issue is the upper fairing. none of the plastic is actually missing, its like a puzzle and I can put it all back together. The only real problem is that the fairing mount bracket seems to have punched through as you can see in the second picture.

So anyone have any suggestions?
I dont mind a few scratches on the bike but if I can glue some pieces together so it hold up decently that would be good. I've never done this before but what I'm thinking is take off the whole upper and apply some kind of plastic cement where necessary. does this even work? do I have to "plastic weld" it?

I went for a ride today, everything is running fine. I'm missing a screw that holds the turn signal lens on but I'll replace that tomorrow so i dont need duct tape
These are after I snapped some stuff back into place. That chunk thats missing needs to be reattached somehow.
