Just ordered a handful of basics:  
Progrip tank pad  
Vortex spools  
DDM hid for low beam  
Led running lights  
Sylvania ZXE high beam bulb  
Motomummy Reservoir sock  
Fp shorty levers  
fender eliminator - made one out of aluminum and having it powder coated  
Tinted windscreen - painting inside as I always do cause I hate double bubbles  
Dropped off rear sets and pass pegs to get powder coated by crc

Now that the basics are done I can try to figure out what exhaust and stabilizer to run

with the help of a good friend i made a sissy bar for the new commuter this weekend.

i should have prob taken a picture of the final product but i still need to paint it

within the past week i stripped some of the fat from this bike.

-removed the ridiculous apes that it came with  
-removed the enormous signals  
-turned a shitty battery tender-esque item into a cell phone charger for road trips  
-threw on some old saddle bags  
-removed the front dirt bike fender  
-removed the baffles from the exhaust

this is my daily rider out here in SoCal so im sure ill fuck with it a bunch.  
im waiting on my rear lowering kit to arrive along with my solo lepera seat  
eventually id like to get a new fender on the back with a sissy mounted tail light/plate and some new tanks that arent yellow lol

Started my projector retrofit yesterday. Worked at it for hours because I ran into a tough time trying to mount all of the wiring (literally spent hours getting the many wires wired up, ran, etc.) and still need to find suitable places for the ballasts, etc. I have some ideas and will be back at it tomorrow:

Finally took my first ride of 2014. I got my New Biltwell Chump Handle Bars on. Got a Motion pro Extended clutch cable and a Black Chrome Steel Braided Brake line. Got it all together this morning, and rode all afternoon!

I think I’m going to change it up this season. Leave the tl in the garage and make my ttr250 street legal and register it in VT. Should be sick. Might hit 80.
