Default Bikes in the shop, does this price sound right?

So I got into a little incident the other night. I took the bike in to the shop to fix her up, they have worked on her before.
Parts on order:
Stator cover assy($120)
Stator cover gasket($9.36)
Motul 3000 engine oil 10-40($26.95)
Fram oil filter($11.95)
Diamond Headlight($84.95)
Complete Front end, forks, trees, etc($400)
I have to get my steering stop rewelded($100) and a new headlight bracket welded on($60)
After labor its going to be about $1100 total..
Does this sound decent, I feel like they are being pretty straight with me, considering what the damage looked like.
Any input would be appreciated.

Im living in Phoenix, the shops in Mesa AZ. Called Adrenaline Performance. They basically rebuilt the bike last year, so they know it front to back. I was just concerned, because there is 28000 on the ODO and I only paid $2500 for the bike. But I love it and its my only form of transport, so I am willing to pay for being a dumbass..

The stator cover, headlight bulbs & filter you can get cheaper. Ebay has ne aftermarket covers for $100. You can get a ful HID set-up for $100 or my kit for $75 and the filters at AutoZone or Walmart for a couple of bucks. But that would mean you have to wait & get the stuff shipped to you then take it to them. Why are you repalcing the headlight bulbs?

The rest of the estimate looks good/ fair.

Just remember an estimate will always be less than you pay
Budget at least 1300 just in case.
