Winter mods, what do you have in mind?
Lets face it guys, for most of us there are only a month or two of good riding days left so its time to start planning those major winter mods, I was just wondering what everyone had in mind for the down time.
My list is pretty simple for now:
1. Black out the motor
2. Polish the fins on the motor
3. Paint a few pits here and there
4. Polish a few bits here and there
5. Chrome the wheels if I haven't done so already
I left the paint and polish pretty open because ideas just hit me sometimes.

Sumo, mirrors, that's all I can pay for at this time.
I would love to do paint.
Rear hub black.

Paint and powder coating. I want to do the motor, discs, calipers, side covers, front fork tubes, triple trees, headlight, handlebars, foot controls, rear drive cover, and kick stand.

For me I want to:
Paint the rear hub
Paint the kick stand
Paint the fork lowers
Slam it with the L&M shock
Crome the discs
triple trees
Alarm
and lots of drinking!!
Not much more comes to me that I can afford so I will leave it at that. There is plenty of riding to be done until usually the end of October and part of November. I will hopefully get 3000-4000 miles on her before she goes to bed.

Holy crap it's coming to an end isn't it...
well I have a short list, but as the time rolls on I am sure things will pop into our heads of mods we all can do.
1. Take apart front jug to get dropped clip out.
2 Touch up and clean up all mods I have done so far
3. Get rid of this hypercharger and try to find a (conair) cheap
4. 2" maybe 3" fork extenders
