Here's the bike. I didn't get very good pics, it was bright as hell outside and 100 degrees. You can see the forks snapped. Good news is I believe the frames ok.

Heres the right shoulder, the one the ER doctor said was fine. The orthopedic specialist said it's a Grade II AC separation. Grade I is when the ligament stretches but the bones went back to their original position; Grade II the bone stays separated but the ligament is still attached. Both these will heal without surgery. Grade III is when the ligament tears completely. He also said Ill always have that gap now so I won't be able to sleep on it. It's OK, I already don't due to a torn rotator cuff.

You need a few days rest red.
Shoulder can be painful.
I threw out my shoulder...elbow and wrist.
When I discovered Victoria's secret catalog around age 14.
In all seriousness, give yourself a few.
If anyone I know ( not that I know you) earned it, you have.

Dam Red! How is your range of motion?

It's actually pretty good. I just don't lift either hand over my shoulder.

I have to take at least 2 weeks off work, then I MIGHT be cleared for light duty. I won't drive on pain meds so no driving until they're gone. My neighbor tried to bolt up the u-joints with new straps but the threads on the damn bolts were 1/8" too low on the barrels of the bolts and they wouldn't thread deep enough. So I'll try to remedy that tomorrow. But yeah I'm resting up.

"resting up" under your truck?! Jeez, red. Take a nap, brother!

I got the ACDelco Professional straps today and my neighbor installed them. Went for a 2-block ride just to make sure everything works. The Beast is back AGAIN!!! My bike and body not so much but making progress. No oil leaks either. I'll do the other 3 u-joints when I'm better healed so easy as it goes for now.

FYI the Spohn adjustable panhard bar is being listed in the classifieds if anyone's interested.
