Winter upgrades what are you doing

[Mathewrussell52]

So I’m located in Iowa and it’s cold and the weather just seems to get worse everyday. So I just keep working on the busa. This winter I didn’t build the motor like I wanted to but. I just added a 6 over swing arm, a lowering triple tree, rebuilt the forks and seems like I’m blacking everything out I touch did the rear master cylinder and all the fairing bolts.

I’m fixing a small fuel leak I had from the tank feed.

Still need new chain, sprockets, rear brake line and figure out how I’m gonna mount the license plate.

Think that will be it this winter. The ground hog said only 3 more weeks fingers crossed.

I have winter starting around May, goes for 3 months here in NZ, have just had an awesome summer's riding and winter is a good time to sort everything out for the next 9 months of riding.
I have a new set of tires I am fitting tomorrow at work, I have the rear shock linkage bearings to replace, the forks to refresh and possibly a large set of Titanium fasteners to fit. I'm considering the purchase of $2500 worth of Ti for a fraction of that cost, used but in excellent near new condition.
I want to get my wheels painted also, in the same electric blue as the rest of my bike.
I will be cleaning out the fuel tank and doing the PAIR removal and airbox mod.
Good times!

What is this "Winter" you speak of bro?

...you knew it was coming sixpack.

Adding compression to the 1441 bike with cams re-degreed and a prostreet cut trans. Took some weight out with an HRP upper triple tree, switched to a fuel cell and tank shell. Lowered the front a bit more.

I painted the slow bike (thread in the 1/4 mile forum) and am lowering it with a flat pan and sidewinder. Took some weight off it with a fiberglass tank (off the 1441 bike). Added R1 wheels for weight savings. Thinking about adding nitrous just because.

Probably some stuff I forgot.
