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)

Re: Whats going on your bike for next season?

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.

I Ride with OTE Freestyle in Indianapolis, we are currently trying to set up a little comp to bring all the Indiana stuntriders to one place, and possibly some riders from surrounding states. let me know if you would be interested, and if you know of anyone else that would probably be interested. We aren't planning anything big, just thinking of something along the lines of a friendly little comp. I will have more info later into the season. let me know!!
Peace.
