The sad long story told quickly is that I am a noob and crashed my 2011.

The front headlamp collided with a vertical object. The headlights were shattered, the headlamp assembly bent, and the fairing around it cracked.

The bike was driveable afterward. When I sit on the bike with the handlebars and wheel straight ahead, the fairing is about 1/4" to the left. It seems the steel framework that the fairings all are bolted to needs to rotate clockwise.

I am mechanical but a novice rider. I can probably fix this, I just don't know whether I should ride again, but that's a different topic....

Any help to get the bodywork back in alignment?
