So I got the bike off the trailer today and washed it down of the remaining salt. Threw the stock rear rim on so I can roll it around and it rolls easily and true, so...the trans/clutch/output all seems to be just fine.
Forks/Triples seem just fine as well.
On further look, the shifter/left peg mounting rail took the biggest hit, then when it bounced and landed on the right side, the Kawasaki ZH2 bar took the vast majority of the right side hit, thankfully they built a very strong bar and it bent (a lot) without folding, soaking up most of the energy. So much force went through the bar that it bent the M8 bolts used to clamp the bar haha. All that deflection though, was energy not going into more expensive pieces.
I'll get to the engine removal soon, too **** hot to start today.
PS: It's either going to be Busa forks or stock legs with upgraded cartridges. The only one that really interests me but is very cost prohibitive is the new ZX10 forks. I have no interest in anything branded Ducati/KTM/Aprilla/Guzzi/MV Augusta (or beyond the RIII, Triumph).
