Acorns, mostly. Mice are nesting / storing food inside the airbox. There are probably nests inside our cars' intakes, too. At least with the K&N, they can't chew through a paper element and get sucked into the engine...

Nothing is bent. The bars didn't take a hit in the crash and the throttle has been sticky since I bought the bike; it's been getting progressively worse and now it freezes completely. I'll thoroughly clean the linkage around the throttle bodies when I replace the cables-- if that doesn't fix it (combined with the new throttle tube), I'm at a loss...
