I've been looking for one with no success. What's everyone doing this winter?

Most of the parts have been trickling in slowly. Big change will be replacing the stock apes with Wild1 Drag Bars. This gives a snowball effect...New mirrors, signals relocated, brake lines, grips if needed, and anything else that creeps up. Shorter Jiffy Stand due to lowering bike. Jiffy stand has been sitting on the shelf for two months waiting for the fun to begin. HodRida lay down plate bracket has arrived. Looking at new Derby and point covers. More to come...

I already did close to $5k of upgrades this year, but my baby is worth it!

Drag bars, maybe taller risers if ness, joker machine fork sigs, and in process of machining my axle mt. license plate holder. Ive cut the backing plate on the waterjet, and once I figure out how to mount it ill be milling it out. the only reason im making it is to have something i fabricated on my bike. It will have about 5hours of machine time into let alone the block of alum I started with. I will put up pics when assembled before spring.

Brembos. Scored a pair real cheap off a forum member here. And I just got found a matching master cylinder off ebay for 30$. All I need now is a left side 11.8" rotor and I should be set.

Course there's a million other things I'd like to do, but all my savings are going towards a new engine for my jeep. Yay
