I suppose it’s about time to update the thread. I’m all healed up from the wreck and am finally beginning to get the drive to work on the bike some more. I haven’t done much to the bike for the last month or so, but I did get some work done shortly after the wreck. I’ll first post the pictures of the bike the day after the wreck. As for the damage bill:
Right side engine/clutch covers ground down but usable
Muffler discs ground down but usable
Oil pressure sensor broken in two
Right clipon ground down a bit
Brake lever ground down a bit
Right engine mount bolt ground down
Triple clamps seem to be twisted
Notice the leather mark from my dismount...
Now as for what work I have already done:
I pulled off the broken oil pressure sensor and replaced it with a spare. I then pulled off the fuel tank and airbox. The airbox had about a pint of oil in the bottom so that was removed and cleaned out properly. I then took a look down the intake runners and saw the famous joy of a Triumph engine ran on its side: number 2 3 and 4 intake runners were full of oil with #3 being the worst. Now I finally understand what Will meant when he always warned about cleaning out the cylinders of a tipped bike before the restart. I pulled the spark plugs and covered the garage floor and all other parts of the bike I could with newspaper. I then took a large trash bag and draped it over the engine. Once getting juice back to the bike I proceeded to crank the engine over. Holy Hell! There must have been a quart of oil in all those cylinders! The initial burst of oil actually shot the bag into the air, thus allowing a nice coat of oil-mist to attach itself to my face and adjacent objects in the garage. So the cranking, waiting for oil to settle, and more cranking went on until I had the oil pumped out.
I then cleaned up the mess as best I could, cleaned the plugs and got everything put back together. Once I topped off the oil I rolled the bike into the driveway and fired it up. To my relief it fired right up and my thermo-gun showed a good temperature progression on all 4 cylinders—so the injectors were all working properly. After the bike began to warm up it started smoking pretty bad (as I figured) due to all the oil in the exhaust system. I had to shut it off as to not get the fuzz called by the neighborhood. That was that and nothing has really happened since. I am planning on loading the bike into my truck and taking it over to the bodyshop next week where I can fire it and let it run until all the oil is burned out of the system.
So now for the future plan: I would love to keep drag racing the bike but something is telling me not to. With that, I figure I will convert the bike back to street and have just as much fun. My hopes are that the forks will straighten out after loosening the triples and that there is no internal damage to the engine. The plan is to put S4/S3 mirrors on the bike, rig up some turn signals and a license plate frame, and eventually get a set of S4/S3 headlights. I have the front fender that just needs paint. If all goes well with the forks and engine it should be an easy conversion. Below are the pictures of the oil in the airbox/intakes. 
I finally got time yesterday to loosen the top triple clamp and bounce the bike a bunch; and what would you know... the wheel came right around. WILL, if you are reading this, good call. That was really the deciding factor as to how much time and money I wanted to throw at the bike, so now it’s on! I ordered a set of new tires yesterday--went with Pirelli Diablo Corsa III's, as I've run Pilot Powers and Metzler M1's (liking both) but have heard great things about the Pirelli's. I also think I have a set of 2007 Speed Triple mirrors purchased, if the guy can find one of them, and will be picking up turn signals this weekend.
The aftermarket world is a possibility, but I’ve yet to hear good things about the quality of these parts compared to OEM units.
