so i went down today

Looks like maybe two or three grand worth of damage if you have a dealership do it.. I know from personal experience! Got knocked off about a year ago by a fellow motorcyclist who low-sided coming out of a right hander. His bike skidded into my lane and side-swiped me, causing me to go down on the left side. Luckily zero injuries happened.. leather gear was my best friend that day!

The side covers on the crankcase got rashed up, and of course the turn signals, bar end, and levers took a little scuffing, and just like yours, the plastic back cover on the instrument cluster got ripped up. Yours looks much worse than mine did, but with mine they replaced the whole cluster anyway, so I doubt that will have any bearing on the cost.

I'm glad you did pretty OK injury wise! Watch out for the swollen knee, that could be trouble down the road if you don't nurse it.. if not a major injury then getting into the habit of some stretches and strength exercises for the gluts and the quads could be good! I just took a free physical therapy knee class that my health provider offers and that's what I learned.

Don't get discouraged, just heal up and get back out there and have fun with your CB! I had 1600 miles when I got knocked off, and I've done another 7k since then, no regrets at all!
