Low in the 30's and highs in the 50's is a little brisk ( will be my 1st winter on my Five-4). Maybe some heated boxers for your frozen family jewels.
Might have a bolt-on in the near future. Will post when it's available.

maybe a +2 with that 520 conversion.

as far as the rotors go, ive seen some on e-bay really cheap but they are comming from japan so shipping is high but i cant speak for quality.
Im not a fan of the yani shinki exhaust but thats just my opinion, i think its like putting hub caps on a lamborgini.

get a vfr or cbr1100xx shift lever and do the G.P. shift pattern 1up 5down(50 or less look for the less)

frame sliders(ebay 20-30 bucks)

seat covers(ebay 20-50 for both plus a 10 dollar staple gun)

you could paint you wheels(your time plus supplies if your into that)

billet stator cover(ebay 90 bucks, just in case)

pc3r serial port (58cycle.com new for $158, 500rpm vs 250rpm plus ignition mapping, and if your not going to go for the top of the line exhaust then you dont need to drop close to 400 bucks on a pc that doesnt have ignition advance but has ports for options like quick shifter and lcd monitor)

a stearing stabilizer but they arnt normally cheap

thats all i got for now

Im not sure what its going to look like after the paint job, Im still trying to figure out what i want to do. My cousin is a professional painter so its all going to be just the cost of materials, he said it probably wont cost over $100 even if we get really creative. Going to do the whole thing, rims, tank, plastics. Swingarm and everything else silver is going to be flat black.

50s is ok, just gear up with extra cloths, 30s is ***** cold lol and from the weekend to now it has dropped 10 degrees. its now 20s and 40s. looking into the heated stuff right away.

Lol im not a big fan of the yana shiki either but i didnt have any exhaust at all so i figured what the hell, get something aftermarket at least and it actually sounds good so im not too upset with it.

+1 to frame sliders, dont want to f up the paint
dunno bout the seat covers, will look into the stator cover,

I need to do more research on the PC3, not really sure what is what just yet.

I saw those ebay rotors, going to read some more reviews on them.

I would like a stabilizer but that is $$$$
I had a -1 +7 520 before and it was too nuts for me, im learning some more on the -1 for while then will see from there if i want to down gear anymore.

They are not 954 forks, I have two sets of 954 forks in my garage right now i just have not installed them yet because ive been looking for a front axle, the one in my current forks is different than the one in the stock forks. So i will have a set of 900rr(i think, still have to check for sure) forks for sale and 954 forks too this winter or spring. One set has good fork seals and im putting those on, the current ones and the other set need seals replaced.

But i found one now, and got the clip-ons so while everything is getting painted and the mods are being done i will also be installing the new forks.

im going to check out the ipod pics, i might try to pick up one cheap and do the same.

Checked out heated riding gear and DAMMN its a little more expensive than i was expecting. My birthday is Nov 20th- going to talk the family into throwing down on some heated gear.

I just got a brand new Corbin, totally rocks. Doubt you'll find a new one. I put Spiegler brake lines on my FZR last year, they rock. Expensive but damn worth it. Clean your brake calipers if you think they need it also.

Will check out the spiegler lines, what do you mean by cleaning the calipers? never heard that before. I rebuilt a set of 400ex calipers before but thats about it with the brakes, that will all be new to me.
