Member Contributer VFRBulldawg Posted August 27, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted August 27, 2011 Ok, I have torn down the suspension on my bike and already shipped off the forks and rear shock parts to Jamie Daugherty for a custom rebuild. Since I've got the bike apart I'm doing lots of mods. See below: Mods completed prior: Corbin Gunfighter seat Throttlemeister Motovation Frame Sliders Givi V35 side cases on standard Givi PLX-166 side racks K&N air filter Lobstenders Mods I will be doing over the next few weeks: Having Jamie Daugherty rebuld the front forks and rear shock Laser X-treme Exhaust Installing a VFRness with a fuse block Speedohealer Kanadien Ken's Fender Elminator Signal Dynamics Diamond Star Head Light Modulator Signal Dynamics Back Off XP Tail Light Modulator Installing Front and Rear Accessory Power Outlets Installing Luggage Electronix Connectors to my tank bag, tail bag, and V35 side cases Swapping out the Givi PLX-166 standard side racks with the Givi PLXR-166 quick release side racks I would like to install a power commander but I have decided to put that off for a bit due to cost since I want to get a PC-V with autotune. Since I've got the bike all torn down for a few weeks can y'all recommend any other mods I should consider? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plugs, air filter, oil and filter, coolant flush, brake/clutch fluid flush, brake pads, head bearings (Don't know your mileage, just throwing them all out there...) Heated Grips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Cogswell Posted August 27, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted August 27, 2011 I'd like to get a hugger to keep the crap off my shock and exhaust. I'm not a fan though of the ones that fit over the existing chain guard. Seems there are few if any that fit ABS models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, while checking out your leaky clutch cover issue at TMAC, I noticed that your girl could use a little TLC as far as cleaning... always good to do and easier when the bike is already apart for other things.

Member Contributer VFRBulldawg Posted August 28, 2011 Author Member Contributer Share Posted August 28, 2011 Basic maintenance? Plugs, air filter, oil and filter, coolant flush, brake/clutch fluid flush, brake pads, head bearings (Don't know your mileage, just throwing them all out there...) Heated Grips Good idea. I'm at 23,000 miles so it's almost time to replace the coolant, brake, and clutch fluid. I've thought about heated grips before. Do you have a recommendation on a set that will work with the throttlemeister? Steibel Horn Scott Chain Oiler Voltmeter A chain oiler and voltmeter would be nice to have but I think I'll put those off for now. The steibel horn sounds like a good idea. I'll look into that. ^ this .... have good time 'dawg .... sounds like a lot of fun .... methinks you've got an understanding wife I'm single so I get to spend my expendable income how I want to. Good thing for some recent OT. This. Also, while checking out your leaky clutch cover issue at TMAC, I noticed that your girl could use a little TLC as far as cleaning... always good to do and easier when the bike is already apart for other things. A very good point. I plan to give her a very thorough cleaning. So many times where I think about washing her I end up taking her for a ride instead.
