[RRxtar]

anyone doing any upgrades this winter? maybe a slip on? fender eliminator? maybe an ohlins TTX36 rear shock?



since i spent the farm and went all out last year and did basically every go fast mod available without cracking the engine open, including dyno tuning, this year im going to take it easy and do just a couple smaller upgrades.

Scotts steering damper: while the rear swingarm and suspension design on these hondas is amazing for keeping the front of the bike planted allowing you to get on the throttle harder and sooner without upsetting the bike or pointing the wheel to the sky (when compared to the other 3 manufacturers), i still get some decent wiggle, especially over bumps like the exit of the last turn onto the front straight at spokane. every bike should have a steering damper anyways.

CRG shorty levers (black/red tabs): feel so much better and I 2 finger the brake and clutch already.

520 Conversion with f-1/r+2 sprockets. same gears I've got now but my chain needs replacing so I may as well convert to a 520 for a little bit more go.

Carbon Fiber Front fender: purely bling. I want to do CF fender, hugger, lowers, and tail eventually anyway.

this is, of course, unless i stumble across a used Penske or Elka rear shock which would mean id send my forks to GP for a rebuild to match.
