Also anyone use a front fender tip piece. There are some paint chips and want to cover them. There is one on eBay for $30

I suggest you get a factory service manual for that bike. You will probably need it before this repair is done.

The "chrome square cover on the left side" is the coil cover (forward) and/or the electrical panel cover (aft).

I suspect some of the parts under the electrical panel were cooked...

You should check the fuses under that electrical panel cover, to include the starter relay at minimum. Hopefully you didn't also fry the #32449-95C Electric continuity module, as I believe it was $300, when it was still available... I don't know what they are using now.

Hopefully you are good with a multi-meter.

Good luck with your repair, and report back what you find and need to fix...
