Your original pic was 278kb, which is 78K too large.
Here's the shot, cropped and resampled down to an acceptable weight..... check out that stator cover; you were damn lucky it didn't grind through. If it had, you'd be looking at an oily mess and a flatbed trailer to get it home.
OEM 'Stones and cold asphalt are nobody's friend.....
But like other's have mentioned, the main thing is that you're physically okay. I know your bumming heavily.... chin up, 'bro; some new tupperware and a CF stator cover to mask that metal rash, and you'll be stylin' again..

Dude I know how you feel did the same thing with my new bike. Bought it home in 20 degree weather and decided to drive it up the driveway. New cold tire spun out and down she went. All back together now after replacing the right side fairing and a new exhaust system. Bike still has 1 mile on it and waiting for the spring.
Sorry to hear you laid her down, but glad your ok! I'm in MD I have stock pipe and I will have a clutch lever by the end of the week when my Pazzo Racing ones come in. I also have a stock windsheild if you damaged yours. Let me know if you need any of the parts.
Always hate to hear about people going down but at least you are okay . I see you are in Hamton i will be in Tabb just next to newport news in a couple weeks . My family all lives there . I hear its been real cold the last week , got to make sure those tires warm up good with all that power . Welcom e to the board and if it makes you feel better , You aren't the first one i've read about going down on a new 08.

Man, it hurts just to look at that but, the most important thing is you're alright. I have State Farm and have made two insurance claims in the past. One I guy hit my bike with all kind of parts from he's bike, won't go into detail and another when I hit a pothole and bent the S##T out of my rimes. They came out cut me a check within 48 hours and never went up on my insurance. You pay your premium for a reason now it's time for them to hold up there end...

Whats important is your still with us and no serious injuries. The damage doesn't look that bad. Looks like the time to shed some weight and get an after market exhaust. I can't really tell from the photos but it doesn't look like there are any broken tabs. Any skilled painters in your area? That might be the way to go on a budget. I'm sure 08 plastics are at a premium. That and another stator cover and you pimpin again.
I found a left side 08 exhaust on Ebay kinda cheap $99.99 shipped

A brand new upper cowl same color as your bike cheaper than you can have it painted properly $180.38 shipped

And hard to believe a 08 left side fairing new but for a Orange/Black for about $175.00 shipped

So $455.00 you have everything you need, but you'll have to get the left lower painted and another Kanji.That just one way to go. You have other options.
