Loss of brakes/hydraulic pressure

I HAD A "NO-SPEED" LAY-DOWN of R11S ONTO THE GRASS ON MACHINE'S RIGHT SIDE. It was at night coming back from store in front of my house, pulled-up on sidewalk, intending to park in front of house but in an absolute idiotic moment I killed all forward velocity, bike started to tip to low side of sidewalk (right side) and as I put my foot down there was of course no sidewalk there, hence a lay-down onto the grass. Bike rested on right cylinder guard but right handle bar was turned under. My son and I lifted bike up I got on it, started it up and the brake failure light flash immediately started flashing and I obviously had no hydraulic pressure. No obvious damage noted to usual lay-down suspects, mirrors, levers, handle bars.

I checked all lines and looked for leaks under good light in garage but see nothing untoward. Bike is equipped with RD Bar-backs.

Can any brethren help with a possible diagnosis? I will move machine to BMW dealer (3-miles) on Friday but brakes will be dicey.
