Default I know it's early.. End of season mods?

What are you planning to do to your bike during the off season?

I will be doing the following..

K&N air filter

Replacing my old airbox with an open one, it basically seals just the top and bottom of the filter and allows for free-er air flow, but has a slightly louder intake noise.

Putting the pegs from the lightning version of the Xb on my firebolt. They're an inch lower, and should help with my comfort.

That's all I have for now. Should be a cheap set of mods. Not costing more than 2-300 total.

Intake snorkel, lights, levers, titanium exhaust, and maybe a PC if I can find a dyno nearby to tune it.

conversion from clip-ons to handle bars. I'm tired of leaning that far forward, even with the heli-bars.

I haven't. I forgot about it actually. I may do that AND the KD Fab catch can as well.

Yeah, that catch can looks awesome...but a bit too rich for my blood.

Hmmm...you're right. And, honestly, I prefer the feel of the stock levers.

I suppose I should bleed the clutch lines\fluid
I suppose I should strip off the body work and do the "lets see if any screws\bolts came off" AKA "shit forgot to put loctite on that bitch"
I suppose I should get some silicone to quiet down those rattly mirrors.
I suppose I should get the carbs off and

I suppose I should do all sorts of stuff...

Might just drain the coolant, change the oil, yank the battery and put the cover on it.

Might might might might
