All Tech and Sheeit...
I'm planning on grinding off the bracketry associated with my sidecovers, and moving stuff under the seat. I'd also like to get clipons but, I don't think that is going to happen soon.
What else is going on?

I am putting on a Sparks dually exhaust. I have an S2R800 and I have the Sparks straight pipes. I got them coated with a satin chrome finish from Performance coatings -- it looks like crap so I am having them recoat with their Chromex coating.
I disassembled the Carbon cans and am having the same done to the cans. I don't like the way they "bronze" under use.
Then I'll be swapping the stock forks for a pair of adjustable Showas and installing the Motowheels clipons. I've been planning this for a while now, and it looks about time to STFU and do it.

I am planning on taking my bike for a spin around the block.
There is about 4 inches of snow.
I think after this ride I will need the following:
new levers for my clutch/brake (depending on what side I have my lowside)
foot shifter/brake pedal (one again, depending on my lowside)
new tank (sure as hell not sending to DP for repair)
anything else I am forgetting?

I'll be deconstructing my M900...hopefully beginning in April (gotta wait to get the garage finished and organized so I don't lose anything).
I plan on:
- Cleaning up the frame, then having it, the swingarm, and the rearsets powdercoated flat black.
- Engine side covers ceramic coated "chromex" (bike is a Cromo)...maybe just polished if they can't do side covers.
- Lightweight flywheel and clutch.
- Quat D ex-box exhaust eith chromex or satin black ceramic coating
- All LED strip turn signals.
- New rear shock (probably competition works)
- Forks re-furb'ed by GPsuspension
- New rims, or have the stock ones powdercoated/ceramic coated somehow.
Greatly simplify the front end and make it as simple as possible...still need to find a speedo and some headlights that I like.
After that I'll be broke! I'm sure I'll be posting up questions on how to fix some things I fucked up!
Oh yeah...

I cut a fart.
Looking into some cool dual headlights from Japan. http://www.rcmracing.com/english/ducati/faro_01.html
I have a leaky left case cover to take care of.
Oil change
Belt change.
Chain and front sprocket change.
Then it's off to Home Depot to buy some cabinet handles and fab up a cool rear seat cowl

Wow, that's racist. You could get banned from other forums for that (don't ask me how I know, apparently that was part of why they banned me).

Why? Is he a member of a minority that I offended? Yeah, probably.
