These are cool. Not quite $500, and no performance gain, but different.

Don't really like those covers.
Kinda like the American Sport Bike ones but meh seems pricey for what it is/does.

Install your PCIII and have it dyno-tuned.

Good luck buying the Soetenga Design stuff. I emailed the dude and he said no one was interested in marketing these pieces and only a handful had been made. He did offer to sell me some of the heel protectors but when I accepted I never heard back from him.
Bummer!

You have a rather well modified bike already:-)
From the way you ride your bike on your web site I would make the following suggestions:
1. Frame pucks
2. Fork and swing arm sliders
3. Racing suspension: springs and shock upgrades
4. Upgrade belt and sprockets to 2006 spec.
You might also enjoy a custom seat.
Not much else left to do:-)

A set of Supercorsa Pros and a trackday......you'll have to spend much more to have the crazed grin surgically removed afterwards

Ditto on that ROTH IRA. I am 20 years old and already have a little over $3000 put into mine, basically it gains interest tax free but is a VERY long term investment. I am trying to put at least $1000 in it each year even now while I'm in college, then 2 grand once I get working. At my current interest earning, by the time I'm 60 it will be worth 2.13 million bucks. Then I can retire.

PS - sorry about the thread jack.

Yeah you don't have to keep adding money to the account, you could make an initial deposit and then just let that set until maturity. But that by no means would be a smart thing to do. You are going to get old and retire, and you know that you can't count on social security. This is for some reason a way that you can earn TAX FREE money from the government. You just have to wait a long time to get it back.

Hey buelltroll if I were you I would put some money into the front suspension, it looks like you are putting the front end down pretty hard in your pics.
