Update:
Cracked open the fuse box and found that the cluster had a blown fuse in front of it. Replaced and I have instrumentation now. Bought a new cluster @ Steele's yesterday and it works perfectly. Appears that the tachometer on the crashed cluster doesn't want to work.

Managed to get the smashed bolt off the clutch cover with some careful chisel work around the radius of the bolt. Neither the clutch cover nor the case around it show any signs of stress fractures or cracking. Time to figure out how to get the clip-on off and reattach the plastic under section to the subframe, as well as resolder my taillights back into working order and chase down the open circuit that is blowing a fuse.

sounds like good progress so far
Taillights still don't work. Meh. Ended up losing some power in the low end due to the smashed can, but she is still running good. Upper fairing stay is still a little off, but whatever.
10 days isn't too shabby to get her back in running order, and most of that time was spent waiting on parts. Yey!

Dude... that is mad progress. Most people would still just have it parked in the garage.

I rarely think of motorcycles without a little yearning. They are about moving, and humans, I think, yearn to move – it’s in our cells, in our desires. We quiet our babies with cyclic movement, and we quiet ourselves by going.

congrats on getting her back up and running
