Dekl = Alternator Cover

Trust me when I say, you cant find a undamaged one on ebay or whatever. So your only choice would be the Suzuki Dealer. For me it would cost €120,- to replace the cover (had a small accident last year).
The Bar-end weight of your handle bar is €40,-
Left Side fairing probably somewhere between €300-400,- new.

All from the dealer of course.

I ended up in replacing nothing that wasn't mechanically damaged. So I still have a few scuffs on the fairing, tail end, indicators and mirror. I dont care because I dont see it while riding. :)

Thanks for your prompt response, seeing that just replace new alternator cover, the Bar-end weight of handle bar. The plastic is too expensive so I'll see that the paste and dye. But I do not know if this will look nice? :( I will see ;) I will se with my dealer in Serbia for cover :) Thanx

Do you think this is new plastic 300-400e or only the cost of repair, painting and fairing? I did not understand :)

Complete new left side fairing from the dealer. The whole black version is about 240,- but the 2 tone version is a bit more.
The stickers/decals are pretty pricey as well so even if you find a painter willing to do it for €100-200,- you still gonna spend extra money for the decals (dont know the price of the decals, probably between €50-80,- )

Levers are cheap ,but you can get aftermarket ones they look better and feel better ,from any dealers or online.
Aftermarket bars ends real cheap and look better.
Aftermarket indicators cheap cheap ,look better and smaller.
You can see that I replaces most of these parts to jazz up the bike abit anyways ,so in away your making the bike look better ,not just replacing parts and its cheaper then suzuki parts.
The cover ,I wouldn't worry about ..leave it if its not broken ,or get some fake carbon stickers sheet and cut it out the size to hide the scratches.
Some decals to cover the fairng scratchs from any sign shop can make one to suit..just cut out on a piece of cardboard the shape to cover it and give it to them ,design at few stripes to give it some design.
My mate on his home decal kit lazer cutter could make one in 10 minutes,, fast cheap and easy.Then you can save for a new fairing give you time to wait to find one off a bike that been written off at a wreckers.

Me, I would simply sand down the scratches on the alternator cover, and if the metal is shinny afterwards, so much the better. I might even try adding some cold blue dye to the metal. I think that would look even better than the white.

Do you know WHY you fell and slid? And how to avoid it next time?
If not, I wouldn't put too much effort and money into repairs...

The most important thing is that it wasn't a fatal collision and you are up and about.
I had a similar fall last year about 5 blocks away from my job. (I’ll give you the short version) Thankfully I had no major injuries and escaped peril. Left clutch lever broke off and scratches in all the same places. I hobbled to work after getting some help with getting the bike back up and made a few call before leaving work early to obtain a new clutch lever. I work in a not so great part of town where the bike went down and a friend who happened to be off that day drove me around to a few shops looking for a replacement, to no avail. I borrowed a car and drove 93 miles to the Cycle Gear near my house, snatched up the piece (and a basic tool/repair kit for $6.95. Lever was $99) and high tailed it back right before sundown. The next month, I started doing mods because it was a good excuse to add things I was going to replace anyway. The dealership explained the cost of a new fairing vs the trade in value for each year going forward- we all agreed not to spend for those cosmetic parts unless you plan on keeping the bike a few years after it’s pay off.
Good luck on whatever you decide.

Yes, I know. The man who was ahead of me in the car stopped suddenly and wanted to cross to the left across the full line, because he so wanted ... Serbian people drive cars like idiots and they do not care for motorists :(

I had the similar damage on the right side when I dropped my bike at a very very slow speed.
Luckily nothing happened to me but few damages on the bike.
I didn't spend any big money to fix. I bought cheap turn signals & lever from Motorcycle Superstore.
After that I decided not to spend any big money in the name of upgrading just for the looks.
You can use touch up paint to cover up the scratches on the fairings I guess,
buy some after market bar ends and stick some decals on the alternator cover.
