low sided my 96, gonna need some parts

[Gpz1100]

Thanks for  the responses guys. I'm actually feeling pretty good all things 
considering. After I have full use of my right hand I'm gonna start taking 
things apart. I'm not sure what i'm going to do with the front plastics yet 
though. Either go stock or do some crazy things to it like projector 
headlights or such. We'll see. Money will be the deciding factor.

Thanks for the support.

Dave
