    The rear turn signal looks to be missing, so replacement needed.

    The right side cover, if your in a bind, could be sanded out to look decent again. BTW, it is interestign that the XJ alternator cover does nto have the bolts in the middel part fo it like the XS does. Also it is the only X series 1100 to have the YICS system so onyl the XJ will have that on the cover.

    Amazing that it tore the sparkplug boot but did not get any of the fins on the head. Heck either tape it up or buy all four new they're about $5 a pop I think at Napa IIRC.

    The worst of the damage looks to be the engine guard and the header. The header being the tougher part to get replacement for.

    Mirror should be locatable, enough folks bobbing them out seem to ditch them for bar end mirrors or the like.

    Tank is just paint form the looks of it, and I personally straightened out a worse mishap with ym front headlight bracket and turn signals, most folks that see my bike would never know unless I tell them.

    The foot, well, that will heal all by its lonesome.

      tbcfreerider,

      I used to have an ankle that looked a bit better than that but I cleand it up and am still using it. Come to think of it mine was for the left side.

      I think I have the front turn signal you need.

        It seems that imageshack just wants to download crap to anyone who wants to see your pictures!! Go to photobucket, please!
        Did you file a police report?? with the injury, if you can find the car the owner is looking at a FELONY hit and run! My guess is the owner isn't a legal resident of the USA, but that is just a guess because of your location....

            Here is a link to the parts fiche so you can look up the "official" name for stuff or even compare parts between models and years.

            I have yet to pull one of the alternator covers off myself. (And , no , I did not look up the official name so that most likely ain't it.)
