Hope you're ok and uninjured.

The whole mirror assembly is attached by 3 nuts - the bolts are part of the mirror assembly. Just remove the "inner fairing panel" to get access to the nuts.

Easiest solution is to buy a replacement (eBay?) and swap out the colour-matched plastic cover.

Just a thought.

Cheers

Only the gen1 mirrors will work...   Some have made the gen2 work but either with adapters or fabrication.

Oh f**k. That looks rather serious. You're going to need a new "sub-frame" component, for want of a better term, along with new bit of fairing (that goes round the headlight).
