Expenses Adding Up! - nick crisp - 18-09-13
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 :lol)

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. 8)

Hmmm, yeah, those bullet lights look like the kind of thing I was thinking of. Cheers Simon :thumbup
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... :lol

I'm glad I helped.
