what should I get with $160.

I just received a $160 gift credit card from my co-workers.
What should I use it on?
Rear stand - $89
Aftermarket levers - $179
Seat cowl - $109
Tank pad - $16
Frame slider - $120
Am I missing anything?
I'm thinking of getting seat cowl and tank pad and use left over for gas.
What do you think

Thanks,
Tin

I'd go with function first, bling later.

Rear stand (don't forget the spools) and/or sliders.

Rear Stand and spools - makes life so much easier and safer when performing maintenance.

save it toward modding the exhaust and carb. Possibly also removing the airbox and installing a nice air filter?

Not impossible but it makes it easier to do mods with the rear stands and spools so I'd go for that. Get good quality but balance quality with how much you wanna spend.

Bike jack. Comes in handy more often than the rear stand would...



(that is, if you work on your own stuff. )

I just ordered a set of front and rear t-rex stands for 134.90 including shipping. with the stands i can do an oil change and apply the rim tape that i got almost a month ago.
thanks all for your opinions.

Good choice on the stands. We're working on getting rear stands for everything in the garage, makes things so much more secure and easy to work on.
