Laid my bike down.....

ebay, craigslist, classifieds, local indy shops. Stay away from anyone offering you stolen parts from an MC, if you hang with people like that your bike will probably be the next parts supplier. Glad you survived the crash and good luck with your bike.

Those parts shouldn't be too hard to get. I'll see what people have lying around, there always somebody who has parts in a box collecting dust.
Oh and Lincoln there are much, much easier ways these guys get parts. My bet is some of them work at dealerships and repair shops and ah, remove good parts from wrecked bikes for safe keeping. Or maybe they keep stock parts after an upgrade. Still not 100% legit, hence the don't ask part. But maybe they risk serious felony charges and steal bikes just to sell parts cheap to a customer base that they can't advertise too. I bet they even rent a warehouse just to keep the massive supply safe. Sounds like a good business model to me. I mean all I know is that a whole bunch of them work at places that repair or upgrade bikes, I'm just saying.

Good that you are ok.
Oil can get all over when you lay it down. Why don't you clean it up, & see if it is still leaking, or if it happened during the accident?
You might want to describe "where" the leak is.
Of course, pics would be better.
Good luck getting her rolling again.

This is good advice. Also look for any cracks in the primary cover or loose oil lines. Front wheels should be easy to find used, but it's always a crap shoot since they could be bent too. Well gald you are ok and now is the time to make some nice upgrades while the bike is down anyways.
