It would certainly be a lot more convenient. Unlike now where it will drop a foot of snow then melt out in time for a weekend ride sometimes

As for the Bandit, I put it up for sale recently. No rush to get rid of it since this is a poor time to sell a bike but if it does, it's a great time to buy one!

I'm keeping my eye on a few different ones that are for sale. Z1000, 636, 929, 954...Not one that I'm watching right now but there is an 07 ZX10SE going for $6000 right now. Dont see that lasting too long. I figure whatever I do I will be thinking about selling the VF in the spring or early summer too. Maybe try to find a little newer 500 Ninja for Tracy.

Put the siren/pager add in to my security system. That's it.

As for the catch can, I'm going your route, just a small filter down there somewhere. I think I wanna route my hoses down the back of the frame and dump out behind the left peg.
According to Al at American Sportbike, no remapping needed.

I had mine tucked between the oil cooler and the front jug. Nice and tight and out of sight.

I didnt find it worth the money

Its a lot of cash, and you have to be within the genral area for it to work. It wont page you when your 100 miles away. I forget what the specifics were, but i'd maybe look at some better aftermarket systems if I were you.

I didnt enjoy the zx10 I rode much at all. Then again, it feels tiny, like travis's buell.

z1000's look like they'd be hella fun though. You owe me a ride on a bike for throwing you the keys to the 51 (you were going really fast, you know!). So buy the z1000 so I can take it for a ride. I really, really wanna try one.

I loved the 929 I rode (a buddy out west had one, and we traded bikes for 100km or so), never rode a 954, but they are hot!

But the aftermarkets have similar limitations. Had a scorpio on the chop. The new version of the HD one is only like $100
