Default 2012 Winter-Spring mods and updates

Do to my limited budget I start collecting a part at a time when I stop riding for the winter and try and complete by April 1st.I waant able to get everything I planned completed because I lost my job on March 28th with 16 days notice.
So here is my list of updates and a list in waiting.I sent out the seat bracket and *****,shift levers,exhaust hangers and rear foot peg supports for chroming.I replaced the rotors,pulley,front tire and front disc pads,shift pegs and brake pedal pad.I installed a flush mount front axle and machined turned dash insert.The biggest project was relocating the coil and horn.I used an Exile kit for the coil and it was not what I expected for the money spent.I bought a mini horn for easier relocating.
I have everything needed for a handlebar upgrade except a chrome master cylinder and grips.I also have a new air cleaner and cover but no money for a controller until I am employed again which I hope is soon.
Thanks to all for your inspiration and sharing your thoughts and ideas.Ride safe.
