So I need some suggestions. I had some money to spend on my bike and I have spend most of it. I now have $100 left to spend and need some ideas.
Here is what I have so far:

Carbon Fiber Tank Pad
Carbon Fiber Grips
Fender Eliminator Kit with signals from fendereliminators.com
Carbon Fiber Rear Tire Hugger
Carbon Fiber Replacement Mirrors
Dark Smoke Windscreen

Well as you can tell I am trying for a carbon fiber look with my bike. I was thinking about flush front signals, more carbon fiber pieces, maybe a K&N filter. I really don't know. So I thought I would see if anyone has any good ideas. I have a helmet, gloves and riding jacket also so I am good with that stuff. Let me know.

You could get a integrated tailight, those are just a touch under $100

I thought those were for those that had a fender eliminator kit with no turn signals. I don't see the point of having 4 turn signals in the rear either.

TRACKDAY


None near me and just not my idea of a good time. This is my first bike so I am still working on being comfortable on it at high speeds, turns etc. Maybe when I get some more seat time.

I have the carbon fuel cover also, forgot to put that on the list.

Dude, that's the point. Everybody's got the mis-impression that 'trackday' means you go out and race everyone on the track until you crash into a haybale. Not so -- you only race yourself because I guarantee you there will always be someone on the track that will make you feel like a slug. So you basically take your bike out in a controlled environment (no cars or sand) and go as fast as you're comfortable. You'll learn what the bike is capable of without the inherent risks of the street and there's no pressure to scrape parts except what you put on yourself.

$100? -- go ahead and mod the rider

You would just remove the aftermarket signals and use the integrated ones in the tailight.

Yes I know this. I have a fender eliminator kit coming though that has new turn signals in it so this would be a waste to me.

As for trackday there are no tracks anywhere even close to me...........I live in Iowa................

$100 is much better spent modding the rider rather than the bike.
