It's not a lot.... but what should I get?

These are some of the things I am thinking of (feel free to add to it):
-SS brake cable (front)
-Brake bleeding vacuum
-Headlight modulator

ice cream for the kids! :)

Nahhh.... grandparents take care of that ;)

Bob,

I will help you. Just send it to me. My grand children love ice cream! Just kidding. Look for the vacuum bleeder discounted, but don't tell randomwalk101 that you have one. :D

Puig

I'll send you my paypal addy in PM ;) Other than that, of your choices, I would think the modulator, as our brakes are decent as it is, and you'd need something to bleed them if you do the lines, so that would require both of your other two options....

Couple tanks of gas.

Got the ZG already.

..a couple tanks? I can get 5!

Put it towards a Corbin seat then :)

Last year I was thinking about a Corbin..... but I ended up being happy enough with stock. Thus far I can take all my upgrades with me to a 650r is I ever get one, which is a plus.

Also thought of a license plate frame with the LED break/running/turn signals (a little more than $50). So lets just assume I match the $50 with $50 and the new limit is $100.

You might look into the GYB products versa light in that case - I found their Stopper at my local dealer tonight, and for $15, couldn't beat it!

2.5 lapdances

or...

Maybe a tank or tailbag.

Tailbag - will that be 2.5 tailbags? hehe

Thanks for the lead! I am finding them online for ~$25.... MUCH cheaper than motorcycle specific models.

$50..... not sure if you ever use your horn, but an aftermarket one sounds much better. although, i gotta say, after switching mine out, i have only used it to say "bye" to my friends after a group ride.

or a tinted face shield....

rim tape.....

mirror extenders... ooh yeah, those are good. a bit over $50 though.

a rear stand if you don't have one

Haven't you spent that money, yet? :D

Not yet... surprizingly!
Gotta wait until after payday anyways.

Just did bills, and it isn't pretty, so gotta stick to original budget of $50.

That being said, what is likely the best safety feature to add at this point.... a headlight modulator or LED running/break light bar for license plate? I already have a break light modulator.

that's a tough call - if you have the brake light modulator on the back already, I'd say that's probably making you pretty visible from the rear, so you might want to do the headlights.... but then again, anything on the back to make that car notice you're stopping is always good.... I don't know...

That's pretty much what I am thinking....
The only thing that makes me nervous about the rear is at night it is difficult to judge my distance, because there is only one light as a reference point. Assuming I do focus on the headlight this time, I will probably come back to the rear later.

and since the stopper bar was only $20 from my dealer, that will be pretty easy to justify next month or the month after

I went with the Headlight modulator from comagination (http://www.comagination.com/modBulb.htm). I think it ended up being $77 shipped.

I may do another DIY... not that it is necessary for something this simple, but people like them, self included :D

That's over budget!!! Where did you get the other $27? :D

I'm from CA, so budgets are really only "suggestions" that you never plan to follow. One would NEVER spend less than is suggested though.

is that why CA is practicing "furlough" right now? :D

Yup, it is after the only election I have ever seen in my life where the state unanimously, and by HUGE margins (every single district) said NO, NO, NO more taxes or borrowing.... in other words, don't spend what WE don't have. It was amazing. And this was on like 1/2 dozen different initiatives! There was only ONE exception, and that was for education, and only a small part of the bay area fell for it, by much lesser margins.... so that was shut down too.

Anyways, that means they have to spend less, and thus the furloughs (which barely make a dent in the big picture). They are still trying to find sneaky ways to screw us in our sleep, but at least for ONCE we the people sent an extremely strong message and were completely united on it with no party infighting..... at least on this last set of initiatives.

you CA guys worry too much...the state is going sink underwater soon anyways :D

We don't worry enough.... we put our heads in the sand, or borrow our worries away. We like to tax things that depend on strong or unrealistically inflated values, and then depend on this $$ to continue to come in.... it isn't rocket science, I wonder what these politicians personal finances look like.... surely it can't be as bad as they do at work.

OK..... now we are getting into politics, I know I'm partially to blame, soooooo.... taking the initiative to say "lets let that be and go back to bikes." ;)

OK, Did you spend this money yet??????

If you didnt, better just send it my way :p :thumbup:

Yup - it's back at post #23 (http://www.ninjette.org/forums/showpost.php?p=77905&postcount=23) ;)

Naw, those girls don't respect you, and I have to work hard enough as it is to get respect.

Tankbag!

Finally got my headlight modulator in the mail today.

Be looking forward to a DIY..... not that it is brain surgery (which BTW a MD once told me is relatively easy if you have steady hands), but everybody loves a DIY!
