I have added a Mottocomm Digital Recorder to my bike so as to post some videos for all of you.
I also installed a set of ProTek Frame Sliders and a new Hugger Fender from War Eagle Racing.
A new Front Counter Sprocket and EK530 ZZZ Chain along with a new Conti Sport Attack for the front end. I will most likely be looking at the brakes before riding season and possibly some soft luggage from Cortech to go olong with the Tail bag that I got myself for Christmas.

All you need is the Wilbers, Front end valves and springs, Heated grips, Sheep seat, and it will be just like mine.

Cleaning a lubing the shock linkage. Not a mod to most but for many it may as well be. If left uncleaned and lubed your high tech aftermarket shock will keep its feedback to itself.

I got a fenda extenda for Christmas so that's on.

I deep clean, wax and lube should make it happy!

Check out the VFR (Interceptor) levers. My dealer had a BB clutch lever on sale for AU$65.00, but had the VFR lever (which is identical) for AU$25.00

The Vfr handlebars are a little higher, better for long touring rides, more upright riding position.

Cool, actually what I was hopping to hear, we are planning a long (5000km) trip next year, and was a little concerned about the bird and my back....

Any idea what they are worth?

I'm not sure, how much they are, I got mine on this web site for 160$ from another guy. To me it's the best way to go, being a OEM Honda part, makes it looks stock.

Well, I have already ordered the following for the bird: Ti Force full titanium exhuast, Michelin Pilot Power rear tire, Dynatek Dyna DRL-400 Two Stage Rev Limiter, and my parts guy is finding a good 16/46 sprocket/520 chain kit for me. Should all be installed and ready within 2 weeks hopefully. Oh yeah, I already have the Factory pro jet kit but I will be installing the next size jets that I have once I get the exhaust put in. The 'bird should be like a brand new beast for me.
