Hey it's Sept already. :thumbsup:

Thinking of re-wiring my headlight. Pull it out and wire my Headlight Modulator into the two top left & right marker light bulbs. Have those modulate also.

I don't know if it will wait til winter but looks like I will do the retrofit resource HID and projector mod. However, think I will raise the bike back up to stock height over the winter and maybe invest in a better rear shock and get them adjusted for my weight. Also, might try to rebuild the front forks. Never did any of those things before so it will be a learning process.


I will be coming to the org for asistance now why can't any of you live closer to me for live in person assistance :laugh:

Well my list hasnt really been started but here are a few things that i have ideas on

1 ecu editor complete remap
2 replace tires ( still the battles on it from 08)
3 prob go up 3 in the back
4 adjust suspension though i saved my settings from before on the 2011 so i may just plug them in
5 powder coat resets and pass pegs
6 thinking on 4 inch stretch though im uncertain
7 replace stock crap mirrors for gsxr1000 models
8 entertaining the gsxr1000 tail mod
9 some sticker work as well.
10 also thought about lowering. which if i extend the rear i will drop the front an inch i guess
11 risers so its a little easier on the hands

Chrome for the fasteners that are still plated and re-chrome for some of them that already have it.
More safety wiring.

But, honestly, winter here is for riding until we get into late Jan and early Feb with the rains. It's still going for 100 degrees every day here right now.

New cam chain and tensioner, and if I can sneak it past my lady maybe an engine rebuild..... Something bigger but as reliable as possible (barely starting research)

I second that :laugh:

All in favor....

I am riding in to winter as long as possible. 60 miles a day in gas kills me in the lifted jeep...14mpg vs. 35 to 40...maybe even more when it is cold since I may not go as fast...lol.

The main mod has been done already! Did I mention in the last 15 min how much I love my turbo? No? OK, let me tell you how much I love my turbo... LOL

Alright, small but important to me stuff which I had on my '01 which got flooded by the nasty girl with the name Sandy.

1. Headlight switch. Not gonna tell why unless someone asks.
2. Volt-meter in the upper.
3. Air Horn - probably improperly installed by the previous owner, and stopped working shortly after I bought the bike. Plus the horn switch on the dash. Plus the stock horn. Not gonna explain unless asked.
4. Dealer mode switch.
5. Tail light switch.
6. SmarTire TPMS system... along with yet another swtich. Not gonna explain...
7. I am sure I forgot another switch somewhere. LOL. I bought quite a few on ebay, so I have extra... LOL
8. Oil/filter/tires - because those go really fast... because...did I mention about the turbo in the last 15 min? Oh, I did... Never mind then...

Headlight has a small flicker so looks like a battery, stator and R/R change this winter
