My first off - what to check over
 
Flipping flip, just had my first off.

Thankfully slow speed (20ish) on approach to a round about, rain came from nowhere & the road went like a ice rink.
Thankfully landed under control (on my bad leg) and I think my ankle took the brunt of the damage.
Got home (nearby) without further incident and typically the rain stopped as i pulled up at my house.
Went down on the right hand side.
Apart from lens on the right indicator dislodged, scratches on my bar end & wing mirror, right foot peg a bit marked & a small mark on the end can I can't see much else damaged.

Any ideas what I should be checking over?

p.s. re me the only hurt seems to be my ankle that took the brunt of the damage & my back is sore from trying to stop the bike from whacking the ground.

Bugger, sorry to hear that mate :(
Always better to have a slow one and get it out of the way ;)
From that speed and if the bike rides ok, it should only be cosmetic damage that will need repairs imo.
Hope you aint done any damage to that knee !!

Me too, thanks man.
I'll live.
Ankle is sore but knee seems okay oddly.

I'll check it over in the morning.
Mate is coming to pick me up in the car rather than walking to the local so I can drown my sorrows.

P.s. the brake leaver looks to have been straightened out a little but works fine, might be a nice excuse to purchase a nice new set, any recommendations?

Remove brake or a clutch lever and heat on gas till hot[less heat better than to much] --gently tap with hammer till back in shape and save money.It is surprisinly easy to get them back to shape if the are not badly bent.
If you break it you were going to buy new ones anyway--nothing ventured nothing gained

Sorry to here that!

If its just hit the deck on the road the damage you've listed should be it!
Mine landed at 15mph ish and has a nackered bar end (it was gone) and snapped levers (cheap patterns)

M&P they were shocking.
Got a better one for a quid less at my local spares place.

If its a brake lever, buy OEM or pazzo etc my friend
