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.

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.

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.
