mjdavis1994 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 So here's the list of parts I just ordered. Some because of a wreck and some just to upgrade :: Blurple Frame Black Rims Drag Bar Hand grips Water pump cover w/ gaskets and bolts Yoshi R77 exhaust TST integrated tail light Woodcraft Rearsets Flush front turn signals Dunlop Q3 (in the cart trying to decide on tires) I want to order CRG Arrow bar end mirrors can anyone wanna chime in on if it's worth it? I had El cheapo CNC round ones but didn't use them a whole lot. Maybe I'd use them more if they didn't vibrate everywhere. Also I'm wanting to get a better tire I've got the Q3 on my cart for order but wanted some feedback before I order. I want to get the bike flashed and I'm dropping it off for a cage to be made from Chris Hydogen when I get back. After all this is put on my mods will be as follows.. Windscreen R6 Throttle Tube Drag Bar Yoshi R77 Full Exhaust TST Integrated Tail Light Flush Signals in the front Tail Tidy Frame sliders Woodcraft Rearsets Crash Cage & Sub Cage ECU Flash Different color tank plastics Anything silver on the body blacked out CNC Shortie Levers I think that's all. Anything y'all might recommend? I don't wanna change the sprocket and chain out till I have to and wanted to go down 1 tooth in the front up two in the rear.

mjdavis1994 Posted September 1, 2017 Author Share Posted September 1, 2017 Seriously though, no suspension upgrades?The only sticker I wanna put on it is a subdued American Flag on the side cause Mercia ?? anywho, thought about replacing the springs/oil viscosity, putting the (rebound/dampening I believe they're called) knobs on the forks and replace the rear spring however I'm not experienced enough to know where to start for what I want. I can feel it when I'm hitting a corner hard the bike feels unstable at times but I don't know whether it's the front or rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c0al67 Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 spend $ on suspension before anything else in my opinion. Makes the ride so much better. R6 throttle tube is up there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c0al67 Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Also - if you wanna try the q3 or q3+ they are having some big rebates (75 - 100$) right now if you search around. I've heard nothing but good things about them both, but I stick with the bridgestone s21 hypersports just because i'm familiar with them and have learned their limits, and they get great mileage.

Premium Member blackout Posted September 2, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted September 2, 2017 The s21 Bridgestones are working well for me so far. Hordpower installed K-tech cartridges in my front forks. He also sells rear shock options. Craig Mapstone Upstate New York Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjdavis1994 Posted September 4, 2017 Author Share Posted September 4, 2017 Thanks for the tips guys! I'll be looking into some some of these I think the suspension will be next up on my list after a tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member i28 Posted September 4, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted September 4, 2017 I'm gonna add a couple of things here: brake pads. I'm running the CL XBK5 pads up front and like them. Horn. I'm running the Denali sound bomb mini Also, maybe some fork sliders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beemer Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 It looks pretty well covered but steel braided brake line did come to mind, for that little extra bit of bite before you hit the corners hard. I know it's not a bike part but since low siding occasionally accompanies hard riding I recommend these riding pants if you don't already have some. They're mesh w/Kevlar to help keep you cool and rash free. Closeout price: $39.00. I have a different pair of mesh pants and they do help with the heat.http://www.compacc.com/p/sliders-scaldare-mesh-pants Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddog Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 I absolutely love the q3 for sport riding and the occasional track day. They'll wear in about 3k miles with sporty riding, but they grip like no other. I second the suspension upgrades recommendation, absolutely worth every penny. Suspension, reflash, and throttle tube are probably my top 3 "ride quality" changes. I have crg's and they don't vibrate at all, work great.

digitalsteve Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 I absolutely adore my CRG Arrow mirrors.... I also got the Rhinomoto bar ends for them (I'm using stock bars). Fantastic set up, they don't vibrate and you have no blindspot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
