already got the parts, just not sure if i can actually do it myself lol..
Windscreen is cake. Undertail takes a little more work with cutting, but not hard.

I have NGK plugs waiting to go in, a DDM tuning HID kit sitting in the box, and I'll do an oil change right before the '12 season begins.. There might be other things to do.. Who knows...

-CCTL
-Bleed Brakes
-Add some coolant and Brake fluid as needed

I'm at 10k miles and my sprockets and chain still are good so don't need those. I already switches brakes to EBC HHs. I already have a K&N in there. I changed my oil not too long ago.

Hmm... doesn't seem like there is much else to do...

If we get some really crazy cold weather here (which is next to impossible here in Texas), then I may pull my fairings and paint 'em.

One awesome thing about the south is that the riding season is 12 months long!

I'm going to bring this one back to life; my list is looooong. I'm planning a long trip in May, so I need to get a bunch of crap taken care of before hand... Any input you guys have on some of these I'd appreciate.

Tires - Michelin Pilot Road 2/3
Chain & Sprockets - RK525XSO 16/46T - I was riding 15/46, but I've got some serious slab time ahead of me so its back to stock.
Brakes - EBC HH front, EBC organic rear, Dot 4 fluid & Galfer SS lines, also want to get a new reservior cover as mine is mangled.
-will sintered front be a good move or should I stick with the organic pads all around?
CCTL
Coolant flush
Corbin seat - I'll be doing a buttload of miles per day, may as well protect my butt
Adjustable levers - have a set, just need to install
Fairing repair/replace - whatever is cheaper, they are chinese knock offs, so if I can get used Honda fairings I will rather than repair these stupid things...again....
Deep cleaning - How do you deep clean a motorcycle? do I strip fairings and go to town with WD-40 a rag and a brush or is there a simpler way?
-looking for input
Oil change
Misc - check and recheck all the bolts, zip ties and chewing gum that are holding my motorcycle together
GPS mount - have parts, need to install
power point - have parts, need to install
Clip ons - might get a new set that will be better for all the highway cruising
Double Bubble - I've heard it will help on the highway, any input would be appreciated
Battery - Mine was fine last season, but it's season four now; I don't want to get stranded in a square state or something like that.

wish me luck, its a looong list

I'm getting ready to sell all my bikes so I have a few things I need to get done before I sell them in the next month or so...

'99 F4 had the 2nd gear slip-out problem. Rebuilt the motor, put in an F4i transmission but used the F4 main shaft, it's slightly shorter. While in there I had the cases cleaned at a machine shop to where they were like new. Cleaned all carbon off the pistons, replaced rings and bearings so essentially a rebuilt motor. Hanging it in the frame this week.
Cush drive on the way, used it on my 02 F4i so I had to get a new one.
Purchase new rear tire
Purchase fuel pump
Purchase front flush mounts
Purchase mirrors

After that, it's ready to sell.

'02 F4i is awaiting paint on the plastics
Purchase mirrors
Purchase Integrated smoked tail
Purchase Smoked flush mounts
Purchase ZX6R front fender

04 GSXR
Having body work painted gloss black from semi flat black
Rearsets powdercoated black
Right side mirror
Frame Sliders
scorpion tagma exhaust R&R - PC sleeve black, reassemble....I heat treated the tip for a rainbowed look around the outlet.
Install 05-06 Header


Get rid of these bikes to pay some bills and get a track outfit

My to-do list got tossed when i bought yolie. No cash left in the discretionary money for the year (and if there was, a new 47" TV took it on sunday). Now I'll change the plugs and clean her up.

People keep bugging me to sell them Ororo
