winter upgrades 2 Months, 1 Week ago

well, that time is almost upon us. winter upgrades/improvements. 3 areas i'm concentrating on this winter. 1) better seats (ultimate) 2) better rear shock. have HD springs front/rear & really improved ride quality, but i'm wondering if a shock would help more? also, heavier fork oil. they dive more than i like under hard braking. 3) better front brakes. i heard/read about R6/R1 calipers. better than stock, straight bolt on ? any thoughts/insight would be helpfull

Living in SW Fl means switching from shorts to jeans and a light jacket on cold days when its below 70 degrees..not to many of those days though..

Internal wiring, stainless steel brake lines, and if I'm really really lucky I'll be able to machine the light bar I designed this winter.

Well, if the dice gods smile on me anytime soon I'm going to spring for the dyna3000, dyna coil, and new plug wires over the winter. Need to get some fire into the belly of the beast and this stuck stuff just isn't getting it done.

Yes, as a matter of fact I DID have the right-of-way!

Mr.C's universal K&N filter, a 31 tooth front pulley, and a Dyna 3000 are already sitting on the work bench, and I intended to remove the bars, drill some holes, and route the wiring through them.
I'm looking to maybe go the stainless steel cables and hoses route too.
Oh, it's going to be a great winter!
