$300 to spend...?
 

Ok... So I MAY have an extra $300 coming to me in the next few weeks. What mods should I do??? I already have a spitfire windshield, and leather saddlebags (came with the bike). I am considering getting the tourmaster cruiser 3 bags. What else should I consider???

Edit... Forgot to mention that I have a 16t sprocket on the way already!

I hate to sound like a broken record but safety is always a concern. Invest in a copy of Proficient Motorcyling and riding lessons if you haven't already done so. You will probably have $ left over for gas and a hamburger.
If you have already done so then good for you. You might want to get grip heaters for chilly rides. Symtec makes nice reliable products that are easy to install and don't cost a bunch.

Thanks WW... I've taken the Riders Safety Course offered here in PA and been riding for about a year. I'm always on the lookout for ways to stay safe. But, I was thinking along the lines of accessories or modifications to the bike. The heated handgrips are going to be on my list of possibilities.

I saw this post http://www.gz250bike.com/forum/viewt...hp?f=34&t=2754 and thought the LED's he put on (the blue ones) looked awesome. Makes the bike look like a million bucks at night. :2tup:

Maybe invest some cash in the rider. Plan an overnighter and treat yourself to a fun weekend traveling. Buy a T-shirt as a reminder of the weekend.

Re: $300 to spend...?
 

I've ridden in 18 degree temps here in PA and never needed heated grips or gloves. Its all about getting good thick gloves and keeping the cold air out. Spend that $300 on something for yourself. Get a really good leather jacket with removable liner .... pair of chaps ... something that you normally wouldn't buy but will use the crap out of.

Re: $300 to spend...?
 

Do you have engine guard (crash bars)? If not, invest in a set. :2tup:

Re: $300 to spend...?
 

How about investing $300 in your elevated safety ? $300 would buy an awesome armored 4 season jacket, or a nice high end Shoei helmet ?

Re: $300 to spend...?
 

MC Enterprises engine guard/crash bar - about $160 or so on Ebay, then you still have plenty of money left over for a headlight and breaklight modulator. Maybe some armored riding pants for the cold to go along with the jacket and gloves.
Safety is first.

I'd save it for gas.

Re: $300 to spend...?
 

A cute little tach, like mine... :tongue:

And, you will have more than $200 left.

Add a Tachometer - viewtopic.php?f=8&t=533

Re: $300 to spend...?
 

5th_bike, how do you mount it and connect it, that it shows the revs? Is it accurate? I'm really fun of these kind of gadgets...

Re: $300 to spend...?
 

At the bottom of the tach is a flat piece of metal that sticks out, it has a hole, and it is held by the same bolt that holds the right turn signal
red wire to +12VDC at the horn (the green/yellow wire=+12VDC)
black wire to ground (0VDC)
green wire to the ignition, low voltage side. It's under the tank and I put it there more than 3 years ago, I think it was a white wire that it connects to - not to the spark plug cable.

It has two more wires, attached to a little light bulb that goes in a hole in the bottom, but I did not mount those because at night I don't want to look at it anyway.

I think so, it agrees very well with Jaime's table:

Me too!
In the beginning I looked at it too much, and not enough at the road, but somehow I survived that period... :roll:

Re: $300 to spend...?
 

OK, thanks 5th_bike, i'll try to handle it with a friend. Glad that you survived that period ;)
