Finally getting started

I am a little further along than this pic but you get the point:

This year:
New tires front and back
new shocks, Progressive 11" 430HD black and chrome contrast (UPS just dropped them yesterday and boy are these things gorgeous.)
Progressive fork lowering kit
shorter blinker stems for the front
new Thunder Header Baffles (Part 2001 for my short shots)
Redline Oil all around (this ought to start a conversation)
20 weight Bel-Ray in the forks
Pulling apart the primary to make sure I have the welded rotor not the bolted one (2006)
running the wires in the bars.
getting the lower forks, trees and some other little odds and ends powder coated (be talking to ya soon Joe)
Changing the shifter hole cover in the primary (got some good suggestions from an earlier post)
Axle covers
black clutch/brake levers
Maybe brake pads and fresh brake juice.
...Am i forgetting anything? probably.

New fenders, Paint and tail light relocation will have to wait till next winter...out of cash.

Good stuff. Go easy on the decorative covers. They may look OK to some but when you have to work on a bike with those chrome covers everywhere they quickly become a royal PITA.
