    Re: What mods?

    SV: Not really mods as it's already fully modded for LWSS.

    Replace clutch cable - done
    Fork rebuild - done
    Shock rebuild - done
    Purchase 2nd set of rims - half done. Rear is on the way, still need a front.
    Purchase rain tires
    Oil change
    Repair and repaint bodywork (or at least the number plates)
    New chain & sprockets
    Few other boring little odds & ends


    Tuono:
    I WAS gonna powder coat the rims & buy an exhaust, but all my money's goin into the SV

    Re: What mods?

    KTM's getting a full rebuild.
    Split the cases and sent the crank to Falicon. While it's out the motor's getting all new seals, gaskets, o-rings, cam bearings, etc.
    It's also getting a new Brembo radial brake setup that gives me a boner.

    GSXR750: Picking up next weekend.

    ^I hope to get most of this stuff throughout the riding year.

    Stuff I bought over the winter:
    Alpinestars GP-Tech Gloves
    Alpinestars RC-1 Jacket
    Leo-Vince SPK Carbon Pipe
    Vortex Rearsets
    HID 8000k Lights (both lights) I tend to do a lot of night riding
    R&G Integrated Tail Light
    R&G Micro Indicators
    Installed BT-016s front and rear

    The biggest mod will probably be putting all this crap on.
    Sorry for the list btw. It was easier just to make a word doc with all the stuff I wanted. Makes it so I don't get distracted and buy crap I don't need.

    Edit: I should probably cross out the stand. I am getting one on Monday for the spools, which I am also getting the same day.
