So, I'm pretty new to the site and just getting to know some people, but I don't know who to ask for help. I recently wrecked my 05' cbr 600 rr and I am worried that my fork seal in the right fork is blown. It was laid down on the left side and therefore it bent my left handlebar and clutch down a bit. I can provide parts and the bike cranks and runs fine. I am simply looking for advice and or someone who can help me fix this. I am just ready to get it riding and make sure there isn't anything mechanically wrong with it before I worry about new fairings and what not. Please, if you know someone who can work on a problem like this. I am on a tight budget and it seems most to all bike shops are relentless with their prices. Thanks for any advice, it will be greatly appreciated.

Also, I tried to upload pictures from my friends camera. Keeps telling me the information is invalid. I'll try later.

I know a couple of great mechanics that are laid off and will work from their garage if you like I can put you in touch with some one

Post some pictures

That would be awesome. I finally got some pics up, also the front cowl that you see the pic of is obviously destroyed and I have got another used black cowl already. So, I've basically got all the plastics available. However, my focus now is getting the front end checked out: make sure forks are not bent (I don't see anything obviously bent myself, but you never know), checking the fork seals, and getting my left handlebar checked out. Anyways its very late and those are the few things on my mind that I know I still need to take care of. Again thanks for the help.

I have met this guy. Nice kid. We should help him out if there is a garage party available.
