Default winter mods?

what's everyone doin to their scoot over the next couple of months?

a big to anyone who says "riding it" haha

a few simple things for me...

progressive lowering front and rear

wilwood mesh brake rotors p/c black front and rear

horn delete and coil relocation

some sort of baffle mod (either removing them altogether, cutting my OEM samson's in half, or going with BCT monster baffles)

POST UP, *****

Mounting extended rear fender, back from paint, maybe with side mount plate, I sealed all the holes, it's 6 inches longer. Front fender to match, swap idle/brake cables, 3" straight risers or mini apes.

Since I'm pretty much happy with the way the bike looks and feels, my plan is to replace the grips. Since I ride this sucker, the grips actually show groove marks from my fingers!

I've begun to gather the parts, but haven't given up riding it just yet. The mods planned for this winter are as followed;
Jagg Oil Cooler - purchased
True Track - purchased
Dual Disc Front end Conversion & Suspension upgrade (still gathering the parts)
Remove heat wrap from my Thunderheader (and recoat\paint if needed)
