Started the winter plans early with having a flat tire about a month ago.

So far I have:
-Installed new front and rear PR2's
-New Puig Dark Smoke Window
-Scorpion Carbon Dual Exhaust
-FAZR6 Fender Eliminator
-BD43 Dual Headlight Conversion
-Installed the pigtail lead for my battery tender junior
-Installed FZ1 Handlebars
-Added Seafoam to the tank for storage, and topped off the tank

Still planned to be completed
-Motovation Frame Sliders
-Ebay Pazzo-knock-off levers
-Change oil with Motul 5100 and K and N Oil filter
-New plugs if they look nasty when I check them
-Any other upgrades that come up between now and next spring!

Put the liner in my jacket and pants and keep on riding. Oh, switch to the winter gloves which have the little windshield wiper on the back of the thumb so I can wipe the rain off the visor.

In January when it gets real cold (below 28) I plan on:

Check valve clearances
Replace chain and sprockets
Grease swingarm bearing
Clean and re-pack head bearings
Change brake fluid
Replace spark plugs (maybe - have 8K on Iridums)

Wish List:
HID lights and projectors

Service work is all up to date. So, seeing as my podlight sockets arrived today, I will do the podlight mod for sure. I'm sitting on the fence about doing the headlight projector mod with halos but work gets in the way until mid Dec. what to do oh what to do.......

Washed and covered in a storage unit. Going back the next time it's nice out for a ride. But if it gets colder, i'll go back in two weeks to put some fuel stabilizer and run it for 15 min then pull the battery out so it can be on a tender. I HATE the cold!

Wash it before the hard winter gets here and then only bring her out when the rain has washed the salt off the road

Setting a goal to get all work done before Feb 1st. We get the occasional nice day in Feb, at least hoping the coming winter isn't the horror show like last winter

#1 New Tires
#2 Racetech front springs (will do this when the front tire is off anyway)
#3 Change coolant
#4 Spencer Seat Mod

That should be about all for this winter, I try to keep riding when it is above freezing, so I will probably do most of this in Jan-Feb
