Bummer Resident...
IMHO, claim it on insurance and keep your new toy pristine.
Mine fell off side stand a few years but fortunately, it happened the day after I fitted Oggy Knobs so damage was very minor.
Do the side stand mod. As the other members said, it costs nothing and can save you heaps.
Nowadays, I ALWAYS park in first gear to reduce the chance of it happening again.
It is a shame that other manufacturers don't follow Harley's lead on this one. Once weight goes onto sidestand, it locks into position and cannon be retracted until weight is removed.
Good luck with repairs.
