My crappy OEM under engine exhaust on the V... although that may come before winter... this winter though i'll prolly mess with the sprockets, toss a K&N in the bike, and maybe get some saddle bags and a sheep skin :thumbup:

Going to do something with the rear suspension. Probably just a spring change but maybe send the shock to Racetech.

Also I think a set of renthal bars.

I'm planning on upgrading my headlight to HID, putting a PCV on it, and finishing my tail swap. If time/money permits I would also like to fix some scratches that were on my engine covers when I got it, same as Jresch10.

For sure doing the FZ1 bar swap. Though the paint on my bike is but a year old, I think I'm going to paint it again. The old man, who painted it, doesn't like the color LOL.

Read some manuals, learn to better maintenance my own bike. Cost of living isn't getting any cheaper. Might do some custom mods, but not sure yet. First time living in my rental house in the winter time.

I drilled mine out then took a hammer and punch to the rest of it and i noticed a louded and deeper tone but cant really feel any more hp by the seat of my pants, once i finish my new exhaust im gonna have it tuned and then is where it will prolly help by adding maybe 1hp....lol

Depending on the budget I would like to fix some blemishes from the previous owner and possibly have some of the silver pieces powder coated black to help with my black out process. Possibly the dual headlight mod also but it gets pretty cold here in the winter so either it will be a early winterization or a late spring start to the season for me. I hate the cold.
