    Winter mods, what are you doing?

    I am adding a fairing, constructing my own seat and tail section out of a custom mold, glassing up a new belly pan, adding an Athlon lap timer, relocating some electrical components, and adding a Penske shock.

    Going from Red to white, powder coating rims, recovering seat in a different color, new rear pads, and adding an undertail. we will see how much i get done.

    Most likely CRG levers, black case covers from the '08, possibly getting the rearsets powdercoated.

    Re: Winter mods, what are you doing?

    Finish the odds and ends that are left after my frame swap, maybe some new paint, and chop off some of the wiring for the headlights. Then a trip to computrack to see if the front end is straight. I had plans of a big-bore kit going in over the winter, but I don't see any extra money in the near future so that's out.

    Finally getting a PC-III usb and DNA air filter, then getting it all tuned. Making a custom seat cowl, cause all the ones currently available for my bike are hideous. And hunting down the elusive pristine condition Erion 929 cbr.

    That's what the F4i is for.

    I'm doing the FZ up just to see what I'm able to turn for times...prolly enter it in a handful of races.

    It should be interesting.

    GTO and GTU...(1 on Saturday and 1 on Sunday)...which is fine. Just running it for fun and some extra practice laps. And hell, if I can pad my index a little more, why the heck not right?
