Buying any new goodies for yourself/bike this year
Well,
If anyone is going to be buying any goodies for their bike, whether it is gear, tools, supplies, upgrades, tweaks, parts, or whatever, share your list.
I am going to be buying some new gear: Leather jacket, boots, and gloves. I already have a textile jacket and many have recommended a leather. I am also going to buy some oil and a filter for a change. Although my bike only has about 2200 miles on it and the oil was changed back in October (only about 200 miles on that oil) I decided since it has been sitting this cold winter I will change it. I am also going to be buying some T-Rex stands (rear and front with triple tree adapter) and the spools and do that metal rod tweek that was posted earlier.
I have a relatively small budget and everything will probably only come to about 550.00
I found a Teknic leather for 150.00
Boots about 165.00 (between Joe Rocker super street and Alpinestar S-MX 2 boots)
Gloves between 15.00-30.00
T-Rex stands about 150.00 shipped.
Oil/filter 32.00 local.
I am trying to get everything before the end of February in case we get some good whether here in PA so I can ride when the whether breaks from this cold.
Well, what is yours if you care to share?

new chain/sprockets
and probably some new tires
i have a plus in my back tire, which i know the opinions on riding like this, but being a broke college kid and nothaving
the equipto change them make getting new tires expensive
of course new oil and filter
and ill probably need to change the spark plugs but i just dont feel like messing with it (ive heard theyre not very fun)

There's a lot of things I'd like to do, but money will of course limit most of it.
I'll definitely be doing all the maintenance stuff. Change fluids, valve check, new brake pads, CCT, new tires.
Things I'd like but will depend on cash flow:
- Dyno tune for PCIII.
- Factory Pro shift kit
- Vinyl decal kit.

Well I just finished the gixxer and I just picked up the CBR so:
- woodcraft or vortex rear sets
- new paint
- exhaust (pretty much set on the level one)
- stainless lines
- steering damper. (still looking for a good model under $400)
As for personal stuff, I think I'm going to keep my spending down and just get the Shoei Tamada X11 in white.

I got a little unexpect bonus at work so I bought me a set of Traxxion AK20 cartridges
also bought myself the new Komodo racing suit since I needed a new one after last seasons mishap.
went with a new helmet since I crushed my last helmet bouncing it off the musuem corner at barber
also got myself a new set of Spidi Penta gloves, and went ahead and also purchased mya new Forcefieldchest protector and back protector. awesome comfort and protection. most comfortable protector I have ever worn. and gets top reviews in tests.
highly recommended.
