Sorry to hear about the crash... glad you're alright though! I too know now much the road hurts at 60... 11 months ago yesterday I pretty good crash on the highway and yes, it sucks!! I was SUPER lucky though and walked away with virtually zero injuries (gear works!!). If you don't mind used parts, keep an eye on ebay for stuff in good condition. There's tons of bike parts that go through ebay so if you don't see something now just keep looking, it'll pop up. I got some super deals on my stuff when I was putting it back together. It had $6000 worth of damage and I had it all fixed up for about $1000, and that included a whole new subframe and everything. Otherwise for new stuff, www.servicehonda.com will have about the best online prices you'll find anywhere, but you need the part # to search to use the microfiche at www.ronayers.com to look it up and get the part #'s.
Good luck and heal up quick!
ps.. don't you just love the little old ladys??  We're blessed with more than enough of them down here in SoFla too... can't drive for crap!

Ouch. Heal up.
If I had a nickel for every time THEY didn't see me...
Becareful out there!
I've even contemplated leaving the sport all together. It's very dangerous.
