Whats going on your bike for next season?
I've finished most of the planned work on the bike for this spring. So far the list of stuff completed is:
-steering head bearings (all ***** racing)
-fork seals/fork oil
-front rotors (ebay)
-rear rotor (ebay)
-Front and rear EBC HH's(wanted OEM honda, but the parts guy ordered ebc's and i didnt want to wait )
-fresh coolant
-new plugs
To Do List:
-new gas tank is in the mail (ebay)
-finish painting plastics (only did the fender/old tank)
-maybe new gears (not sure if i want to go lower than -1 +3)
-re-install cage (905)
-maybe re-inforce subframe.
-make 12 bar. (not gonna go on until i blast my spare tail light
Im suprised with what I accomplished the past couple days. What do you guys got going on this winter. (for those who cant ride year-round)

I wanted a new bike bad, but im actually happy with my busted *** F2. Everything works fine now, my brakes are 10x better than before, and the motor runs fine. When you ride a 1991 F2 with 43,000miles on it, there is a certain pride taken when you can ride better than somone with a minty-fresh gixxer 750.
dkx, nice list. I was at least going to do a valve adjustment, but they are still quiet and Im too lazy to tear it back apart.
