Default What should I buy next?

Some of you may know me well enough by now to know that I try to upgrade the bike substantially once a month. This month, now that Christmas is upon us, I have a long enough list to need some help deciding what to buy next. Who wants a say in it? It's not your money, so why not. Sooner or later I'll have all of this done, but in the mean time I'll take it one month at a time.

i voted for other, mainly cuz I don't know what you already have on there and what you want to do with the bike/how you ride it

if you just want a bike for show, any of the first 5 options

I'd go for braided brake lines (front) and good pads or a good steering damper, maybe some rearsets but again that would all depend on how you ride it

The PC3 would be good but since you've already got a pipe it really just depends on how the bike runs

Honestly I ride pretty casually... no stunting cept for the occasional wheelie. I spend most of the time taking some twisties around my part of town, but I want the bike to look different also. Stock is good but subtlety is just as important.

a K&N and power commander isn't going to make his bike faster, i'd vote keep the stock air filter (tests have been done that it doesn't improve airflow, its just good for long term use because you can clean and reuse)
a PC3 will smooth it out but if you've just got a slip-on I wouldn't expect any more power

+1 Being seen at night is more important than going fast unless you are running from the cops for some unknown reason. [sm=devilangel.gif]
