Hey Y’all!
It’s time for the naked conversation, and I would love everyone’s insights and help. I’m trying to do this all on my own, so if you have any tips or any solid references, lemme know. The short of why I'm undertaking a naked look (besides the fact that it's awesome!) is because a jay-walker ran me off the road and I dumped it pretty bad.
Front End Issues-
Busted right fork, broken fairings, bent bar, broken right handlebar system (broken break lever, broken starter box)

Right-side rear-brake bracket is cracked in half and footpegs are damaged. Probably just need OEM replacement, though going with aftermarket footpegs.

Seat is scrapped up a bit. Would consider a different seat altogether for more comfort and less high (I’m slightly short for my fz6).
I also did a really dumb thing and didn't even try to get the bike to start when I got it back from the garage. The right hand controls, where the starter is, were all smashed up, so I wasn't even sure how I'd check it. I would imagine I should try to get it to roll over first before putting all of this work into it. Do I just buy a new set of right side controls, install them, and see if the bike rolls over?
Best,
