For many the season's just getting underway. Would be interesting to see what everyone's got on their agendas to do/buy. Might also give people some ideas for what to do/buy themselves.
Ill start:
1) Front/Rear Sprockets and new chain (assuming ($300 or so max)
2) New upper, lower and rear plastics...pretty much anything plastic needs to be replaced and I want to have the full faired look this year (assuming $800 or so total)
3) new paint (assuming $800 or so)
4) new seat...one of those fancy comfortable ones. probably the top saddlery one. (assuming $500 or so)
5) every type of preventative maintenance possible. she's up to well over 30k km so i plan on just gutting her and making sure shes in top running order. especially with that long trip planned near end of july august time. (assuming $400-$500 or so with parts and mostly do it myself labour with some help for the tricky bits from a pro)
6) all new gear to replace my tattered stuff i have now (sliding around on the asphalt now and again means your gear takes a beating)
so:
i) Helmet:
AGV GP-Tech solid black ($400)
AGV Helmets - AGV GP Tech Helmets Rossi Dream | AGV Rossi Dream GP Tech
ii) Jacket:
Revit Replica top (i think its like $500 or so)
iii) Pants:
Revit GT2 bottom (probably about $300-$400 I think)
iv) Boots:
Sidi vortice ($475)
v) Gloves ($220):
Dianese Joust
Oh and:
7) Hard luggage!! maybe just side bags for now. (assuming $800 with mounting brackets)
8) Footpeg "lowerers" ($50)
TwistedThrottle.com : MFW Vario Footpeg Mount, Rider (Yamaha FZ6, FZ1, YZF600R, R6, '99-'02, FJR1300, MT-01) - MFW.051.08.01.00
9) Probably not this year but a Stebel horn
Total cost = $5,650
Holy CRAP!!!! LOL I guess I might have to sacrifice some things on that list (paint and plastics would have to go first), but if I make some decent money this summer I will be doing as many of the things on that list as I can.
