Good stuff. My input:
Braided Brake Hoses (Full Set F/R)/ Brake Fluid Change - The club used to get a discount from HEL braided brake lines. From memory it is cheaper to buy clear plastic rather than coloured. Do get stainless banjos as anodized will
chip and fur up.
Calliper Re-Condition/Seals. Front is a good move. Rear - don't bother, try to get a FZS 1000 caliper instead as it is much better.
Wheel Alignment, Spark Plugs, Oil Change (Already have it) - Service. Include balancing the carbs.
Engine Re-Paint - Smoothrite in a spray can works well. Been using it for years! Not heat proof but seems to last just fine.
Philips MotoVision Headlamp Bulbs (Both)
Heated Grips - Only good if you wear summer gloves. Winter gloves are thick with insulation. This insulation keeps the heat from the heated grips out!
Clean Inside Lamp Reflector
Investigate Tapping Noise from Engine - Likely the camchain tensioner. Search for it on here or the old site (where is hot poop?)
Clean Carburettors
Remove old alarm and fit new alarm with remote start - Why if you are short of cash?
Fit GPS holder with 12V Auxiliary socket (Already have GPS holder) - I fitted a aux socket under the saddle to charge phone. Waterproof sockets are more expensive so you can save a bit of cash there by siting the socket there.
Genesis Performance Chip (Already have it) - Waste of time!
Don't forget to check bearings, chain and sprockets, and fork oil.
