The stem was folded flat to the gas tank, it ended up folding the threads on the gas cap area and shoving it down into the tank. I might be able to fix that though, it seems to be returning to the original shape after I put a big dowel in it and used a heat gun (tank is empty of gas!).
So, new stem but I had a spare, possibly new bars, thumb throttle and break control, cant tell until I put the stem back in. I had to order all new stem bushings and an upper mount from Bike Bandit. Also need new TAG bar pad, and a rear grab bar/number plate. Sucks though, they were both brand new, only used them for the 100' until the crash. I ended up being able to fix the plastics, but they are not the nicest looking condition any more. I think I got off very good considering how crazy the crash looked.
oh yeah, nerfs look bent as well, but I can probably bend them back.
