Welcome to the club! I can say I feel your pain as my Busa tipped over when it was two months old. Pulled in my driveway and parked it, walked over to the mail box and heard a loud crunch. I wanted to puke.
I didn't bother reporting it to the insurance as it would just cost more in the long run when they raise the rates.
New lower and upper (nose) panels will set you back $850 delivered from Ronayers.com.
New OEM mirror and muffler off Ebay will set you back another $50 or so...heck I even have a new spare right muffler can now. People change those items out on brand new bikes so they are dime-a-dozen. It'll take you about 1 hour to replace. If you have a $1K deductible it would pay for you to do it yourself.
As far as the kickstand mod...I hate to say it but I've yet to do it
Maybe this weekend it'll get done.
I've owned 4 bikes before the Busa and there was NEVER any reason to worry about leaving the bike in neutral, up hill, down hill or whatever. As an experiment I put one of my CXT's in neutral and pushed it forward while on the kickstand and it simply would not go up, it just dug into the ground.
I still say Suzuki is going to be on the receiving end of a huge lawsuit when one of their bikes falls on a small child. That thought alone makes me nervous just leaving it in a parking lot.
In the back of the manual there is a number for the NHTSA for reporting anything that "could cause a crash OR could cause injury or death".
I bet if we all called that number something would have to be done. At the very least it would get an investigation going against Suzuki and cost them $$$$.
Actually I'm going to give them a call tomorrow or Monday if they're not in.

Let's face it, even in gear, unless you take the slack out of the drivetrain there is enough movement to cause that POS stand to fold up!!!
