    As a lot of you will have put your bikes away for winter, have you any upgrades or maintenance to do?

    Am guessing a lot of us are looking at lambchops winter project mods in awe!

    Mine are:
    New hoses
    Brembo rcs master cylinder ( and possibly calipers if the work bonus comes through)
    Racefit exhaust

    Replacement parts for the Gilles rearset which fractured in France / Spain (cannot remember which country we were in!)

    New head bearings (only needed them for about 5 months now)

    New (to me) tyres

    Re-align some panels / trim on LH and RH fairing

    Take it for dyno run / health check at Hammer and Tongs in Warrington as last time they were not 100% its giving its best

    - Fit a relay to make my 12V socket go on and off with the iginition
    - Fit a twin-headlamp module that will provide 40% power to the high beam headlamp when in dipped mode (better looks, no more "hey, one of your headlamps is gone").
    - LSL brake & clutch levers

    Well, Jardine exhaust (dual), that headlight conversion sounds good, centre lift garage stand. All the fairings off and a good clean, oil, filter coolant change. Hang on I'm up to a Grand now. Well I'll defiantly do the fluids.

    Just purchased a GIpro gear display.

    Will carry on riding throughout, just not so much unfortunately.

    Winter mods hopefully, but not until March -

    Fabbri Double Bubble screen, dark smoke.
    Brembo Clutch M/c and reservoir
    HM Quickshifter
    Get lower mid fairings re-sprayed in gloss black.

    I was definitely going to fit a Scorpion GP1 exhaust, now I have seen Racefit exhausts on the forum, I am not so sure.
