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. )

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.
