What winter Mod's do you plan on doing?

Leds, I already have the Motodynamic tail light on backorder and a string of leds for my body.I'm going to order some turn signals sometime.I'm just waiting on a few things so I can spend a good day detail cleaning and modding.
You'll get it, I need a couple weeks to gather the rest of the parts I need.I sent Motodynamic a email today to see if I can have my turn signals shipped together with the brake light if I add them onto my order.They told me the tail lights should be in to ship out in a week.So I'm hoping I have everything in the next 2 weeks.
Actually his camera froze solid on his last snowmobile err bike ride LOL so youll have to wait for those picts
I have a ton I am planning to do. Get my 20K done (2 weeks from Saturday), cover the frame in red vinyl (already ordered) get my exhaust ceramic coated black (dropping off Tuesday) get my rear seat redone (dropping off today) install auto tuner (doing when I get the exhaust back) along with a few other things like spark plugs, clean the filter etc. Trying to get it all done before I start school again at the end of the month.
I actually forgot a few. Got my license plate bracket shaved (cut off the corners that weren't needed and rounded them off) and powder coated gloss black (picking it up tomorrow) Ordered my veterans plate (be here in a month) going to strip the bike down and scrub it this weekend. I'm also going to clay bar and hand polish the fairings and wax them. I am sure there is more but that's all I can think of.
I got new levers, rearsets, and upper fairing stay. Had my fork oil changed and new seals installed.
I just order a set of brembo front rotors that should be in today. Adding a new set of pads at the same time.
All that's left to get is a new windscreen and a lithium battery.
Bring on March!

I just got done ordering the rest of the parts I needed for my led kit.Its designed to cut down, or extend with pin connectors.So I actually ended up ordering another kit in case I need to add a small section to keep everything even on both sides or something.I'm only $30 into it after buying two kits and a 10 pack of connectors.But if these work nice other members will be able to plan ahead better and instal one of these kits for under $20 shipped.I'm going to buy some heatshrink to slide over the strip in places its visible so I can't see any of the white.
Plus I ordered my turn signals tonight as well.Once I start installing this stuff I'll bump my old thread.I already found a 120volt adapter, the charger for toshiba laptops works with these.So although I missed xmas, my plan to be able to run 120v overnight during the holidays is going to work out nicely.All I'll have to do to switch power sources is flip up the rear seat and plug in the laptop charger.

Just joined forum. Got 2012 fz6r this pas fall. Tomorrow I am putting on a fender eliminator kit, sliders and installing garage door opener on in the dummy button. Any tips on these installs would be greatly appreciated. Already learned tons in the forums.

I already threw a puig touring windscreen on the bike Christmas day when I got it.
For DIY I Plan on painting out the mirrors, touch up paint on some nicks on the fairing from a previous owner, might try do something with the stock exhaust. also have some homemade frame sliders to go on the existing mounts, just need to track down a proper sized bolt. Also need to make a support to hold up soft saddle bags that came with the bike. And a rear "luggage rack" to hold my tail bag.
Just ordered a set of cheapo ebay levers (long) not the shortys
And am still looking for some assorted coloured bolts for windscreen and a couple other places around the bike.
For "performance" mods, I would like to do something with the brakes probably starting with braided lines, and some better pads.
Ill see how my budget goes
Im sixteen and am still paying my parents for the bike...

Last weekend got fender eliminator and frame sliders on. Today got flush mounts and garage door opener button but in the dummy button spot. Going to look at putting in LEDs in the fake air intakes for turn signals to add more visibility. Tons of great insight on this site for help.

I am finishing up detailing my bike today, it was stripped down to the frame and the only thing not removed was the gas tank. All paint got washed, clay barred buffed by hand and is getting a second coat of wax today while all black plastics got hit with back to black. Frame got covered in vinyl yesterday and it came out way better than I expected. I am cleaning my K&N today, just ordered a set of spark plugs. I tinted my rear tail light red, and I am putting in a new battery today that I have had sitting around for way too long that used to be in my car.. I think I am going to have to make a new thread with all the stuff I am doing
Best part, my new chain guard that I ordered from England is coming in today and is going to be covered in gloss black vinyl for now and maybe red later depending on if I change my mind or not. It came down to that or a radiator guard/cover but in the end I think I made the write call.
