Christmas gifts

[freak2180]

My wife wants to know what I want for Christmas and Im not quite sure. I want to keep my gifts within a $300 price area and Im having issues. I decided that I would keep it simple and justify getting mods for my bike. So with that said I would like the most bang for my buck and Im not sure where to start.

My bike is an 04 XB12r and these are the things I have done so far:

Dublebubble wind screen
Drummer SS pipe
Breather reroute
1in drop pegs
Integrated rear tail light

what would do if it was you?

Tires,asv shorty levers ?

 

[freak2180]

Well thats what I was originally going to get , but she said to think of somthing else and I could just wait till after the holidays and get the tires. Who makes the side scoops that Extreme has on his bike?

seat?

50Dro Sliders?

Seriously though...Levers are a nice touch or new gauge faces. Not sure where Xtremelow got his scoops but a quick search yielded this thread: Scoops

Says these are from Frank's Parts in Germany.

What a great wife you have that wants to buy you bike parts!![up]

Well as far as my wife "Wanting" to by me parts.....Lol. This is just my way of getting a few things whithout having to worry about resistance.

Levers---> Mabiee
Dash screen ---> mabiee
shift & brake levers-----> stock is fine for now
Mastery cyl cap------> No
T-sigs --------> Already have
new grips ---> need somthing softer/thicker than stock
Sliders----> working on project
Ceramic coated header---> later, I want to buy a spare 1st
seat------>fine for now
Bar end weights ----> would they help with vibes/hands going to sleep?

What about a race ecm and air filter to get with that exhaust?

Bar end weights should help with vibrations, if that's a problem for you. Some better grips may help out as well.

 

[freak2180]

Looked at a Ebr ecm and I think I will hold off on that for now.

What grips are the majority of yall useing? I looked on ebay and didnt find much.......well nothing worth $50-60. Also looked at the Gsx-r levers and wasnt to impressed with the selection.

 

[upthemaiden]

I think mine are Pro-Grips, they were just $15 or so, but they're still a bit nicer than stock.

How about electronic accesories?
Go pro camera (or other cam)? gps, cardo scala bluetooth...

[freak2180]

well this is what I think Im gonna do......

ecmspy cable
New grips
New brake/clutch levers-----> mabiee
New dash screen
50Dro sliders (black)

Tires will come after the 1st of the year.....Im going with the Shinko 005 Advance in a 200/50-17 on the rear and stock size up front. I found a killer deal on these , $200.14 <----> thats with the tax.

Im also going to look into ceramic coating the headers later also.

As far as the side scoops go Im going to make my own....Im going to use Trojan horse units as my insparation and add my own twist to them.
