Post Mountain Riding 5/10

Went riding in the mountains with some friends last Saturday. Got some great videos on what started out as a great day:

Unfortunately after the second video, we got a little too hot in a corner. Camera man had a close call but my front tire washed out on the shoulder < 10 mph. Bent the handlebar, the headlight and instrument mounting brackets, and got some scratches on the tank and instrument pod. Mechanically sound and true. Ducati Monsters are tough! Me... well I rode home from the Mountain City Tennessee Emergency Room with an offset fracture in my right clavicle, and a really good shot for the pain!

Anyone got recommendations on acquiring replacement parts? Any spare parts laying around collecting dust? I'm kinda wanting to go with the tapered aluminum handlebars like the non Darks come with, do the aftermarket companies include the brackets for the larger radii? If you know anyone parting out a bike send them my way, just warn them I may not be checking messages every five minutes... I'm having a Titanium plate put on my collar bone Thursday.
