    What did you do to your bike for this season?

    I have no pictures but just a list here. I can't wait to ride the damn thing with all the new goodies.

    -Front forks revalved and sprung @ GMD
    -Penske triple clickah
    -Galfer superbike brake lines and HH pads
    -one down on front sprocket
    -vortex rearsets
    -Ohlins steering damper
    -speedohealer
    -spare front and rear wheels complete with rotors and rubber
    -E-Racing race fairings
    -bar end and swing arm sliders

    Only thing left to do is either keep my exhaust I buttoned together last season or buy a new one. A month or 2 ago I bought a Y pipe($180) to go back to a duel set up but I don't know if I want to shell out $700 more on a duel slipon. So next thing I might do is exhaust or just keep what I have and be done with it.

    Put it up on stands and put the battery on a battery tender.

    ^ ha, me too.
    got some new rubber & a wave rotor for the rear, thats about it.

    Jay, dual exhaust? On each side of the bike like an RC or a TL or like shotgun style on one side?

    Re: What did you do to your bike for this season?

    Tore apart the front suspension. Installed new racetech springs and emulators to get a new world fork feel. I did find 3 years without changing fork oil was waaay bad. It was like liquid graphite. Put on new pirelli sneakers and may have lost mileage but gained major sticky I will say that working on your own beauty makes it all that much better. Now if we can get rid of the snow covered roads up here.

    636 is popular. That extra 36 cc! Count the pennies and the dallahs do the talkin! Every little bit counts.

    Re: What did you do to your bike for this season?

    Put her on the battery tender and ...... crap, that's it. I think that thing under the tarp needs oil, a filter and new sneakers before I can ride her. Actually there's oil, a filter and Diablo Corsas III's sitting beside her but they haven't made it into place yet. 120" of snow and the best skiing and riding in years has distracted me a lil' bit. I did search ebay all winter for a right side plastic for her to cover the spot where I let her go it on her own but apparently everyone that crashes a gixxer lies her down on the right side. Dammit!

    Nothing... I was going to find a new front cowl over the winter, but never found a good deal on one.
