Expenses Adding Up!

[Hedgetrimmer]

The list is getting longer!:
 
Ivanising (this Sat, kit paid for, but got to pay Mike for doing)
ACF full treatment for winter.
Replace exhaust studs and nuts with new stainless items.
Service and copper-slip EXUP.
Probably could do with a basic service.
New rear tyre soon.
New (decent) boots and gloves required for winter.
Cosmetics - still want a decent belly pan, solid black screen & headlamp covers and want to find some bright led lights to mount under the front cowl "chin" somehow (might have this solved due to a helpful Foccer elsewhere on this forum (could seriously do with a bookmark system on the forum!)
Maybe (read most likely) next year now - R1 USD fork conversion and R6 rear shock mod.
A few more carbon dip bits.
 
Have I forgotten anything? Oh yeah, win the lottery (first)!

I can recommend these LED's as long as you don't mind looking a bit of a foc'cer (like me  )

If you want them shorter you can just take a blade to them every three odd LED's.  If you pay more for less you'll find you can get ones with black resin which looks a touch more sophisticated.  I didn't bother as I can't hide my lack of sophistication..

What I'd really like to find, is something round, like a small very bright torch, maybe 1" - 2" diameter, multi LED, and mount 2 of them underneath the top cowl. The idea is to compensate for loss of daytime running lamps if I fit solid black h/lamp covers (daytime use only). It's just an idea and may not come to fruition, but if it can be practically done...

I know the feeling Nick, my list is ever growing & i just cant help myself.


All the while i think to myself i coulda just got a newer bike like a fazer 8 for not much more than my grand total.


At least i know what my bike has or hasn't had done though & soon there wont be many old parts left on it.


Ill never sell my fazer...even if i do get a new bike ill still be tinkering with the old beast.

Perhaps?

Dunno.

Hmmm, yeah, those bullet lights look like the kind of thing I was thinking of. Cheers Simon 
Now, if I can only remember where to look for this thread when I've left it for about a month and want to actually get on with it...

That's why I posted it here.  You can find all the topics you've created from the profile drop down and it'll be clear as mud lad.

Oh yeah. Didn't know about that. You learn something new every day!

My I.T. Skills are okay but sometimes it's best to keep quiet about them so I don't get even more abuse or the feeling that my input is unwanted.. ;-)

I'm glad I helped.
