Winter Casualty oh noes :(
Yeah, so I laid her down in the driveway at work. I came in and I guess I hit a small patch of ice. The front wheel lost traction and it started to slide out from under me, then it got traction back and it flipped over on the other side. Landed pretty hard but I wasn't going too fast. Something got ahold of my right leg and laid it open pretty good, had to get some stitches. As for damage, she's got broken left and center fairings, clutch master reservoir broke, and the brake master is sticking halfway.

Wow guys... PM's coming. Thank you I appreciate it 
Ordered my clutch master reservoir from the honda dealer for $25. Crashing was kind of a mixed blessing I guess. She's torn apart and getting paint finally, cams are on the way, and I'm going to pull the heads and do a little work I think. Curiosity has gotten to me, finally able to measure the cylinder bore so I can find out once and for all whether or not the previous owner was bs'ing about the bike having a "big bore kit" needless to say I'm a bit skeptical.

I've either located everything I need, or it's on the way, except I seem to have developed some sort of brake problem.
Front brakes seem to stick midway. Like, if I squeeze them and then let go, they only disengage halfway and I have to physically push the lever the rest of the way disengaged.
Couple questions: Is my MC fubar? Could it just be a line that may or may not have been pinched in strapping the bike down to the trailer, or would the line not show this type of symptoms? If I'm going to have to fix or replace the MC I may as well upgrade.
