Just bought an 08 CBR 1000RR, any suggestions?
So, I just bought this bike yesterday, however I cant ride it for 2 months due to being in Iraq at the moment. I figured I would ask all of you 1000RR gurus for suggestions as far as where to get the aftermarket parts at the best prices. Really, all I want to do for now is upgrade to a couple Dunlop Qualifier 2 tires, an undertail kit, a semi loud-deep toned exhaust, and maybe a power commander. Im not sure about the power commander yet, I have been riding my 02 F4i for about 2 years now, so I think I should just get used to the new power first. If any of you have any other suggestion looks/performance wise, or even general riding techniques I would be happy to read em'. Thanks fellas.

One other thing I'm planning on getting soon is a Healtech Speedohealer. The stock speedometer is off by approximately 6.7% (reads too high) and that's too much deviation for me.

You already mentioned several suggestions I would have made. I've done a few things to my 08 since I bought it back in December. One of my latest upgrades that I really like is a Healtech GIpro gear indicator. No more phantom 7th gear shifts and it looks like it came with the bike from the factory.

Welcome and Thank You!
First of all, a big thank you to you and your fellow service members. I picked up an '08 the week of Christmas. I have been looking at every accessory in the book. Full exhaust vs. slip-on, rear seat cowl and new seat or new double bubble wind screen and rear tire hugger....too many options. I wish you luck with your ride and a safe return. Stay low and eyes on the move. Later, JD
