Hi Steve Been there, done that, and got the T shirt. Same thing happened to me on a Fireblade. Got broken up pretty good but time heals most things. Bike was a "write off" but the good news was I used the insurance payout to buy my max. At the end of the day the main thing is you're still around to tell the tale. The hardware can be replaced. You can't! Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Maybe when you get the insurance settled they'll let you keep the salvage on your old bike thus giving you a good supply of spare parts for the new one. It don't hurt to ask.
