The DRC Edge tail light seems to be pretty common. That's the integrated one with an upgraded circuit board but the one that's just a tail light can be bought here. The Acerbis supermoto fender seems to be popular for the front. My friend has a pair of these Zeta hand guards with turn signals that I really like. As far as racks, my favorite is the b&b rack but they're based out of Australia. Any all metal shift lever such as this or this will probably help with black marks from the rubber on the stock one. I have a Corbin seat from the previous owner and I don't really like it much more than stock. I'd probably get a Seat Concepts or a Renazco. As far as foot pegs, I had a bike with IMS pegs and I liked those for the short time I had it.
I went with this for the front fender, which really helped to cut down wind pull (and just looks cooler, honestly.)
These are the front turn signals that I traded out, still plenty visible, but not huge like the stock ones.
Add these lights to the front fairing for a whole lot of extra visibility, both at night and for daytime rides too. Easy to wire up, and just takes two holes. Make sure you get the spot beam, not the flood.
I've got this bash plate + crash bar combination on mine now, it's already stood up to one test on a dirt road.
Here's a picture of mine as it stands now. (and a detail shot) Apologies for the garage picture, and dirty bike.
I've got the progressive springs and I love them. Dive reduction on hard braking is the most noticeable feature. I don't think it will affect the wobble issue though. If you have the stock fender, try taking it off and do a run down the highway and see if it makes a difference. I replaced mine with the Acerbis Supermoto fender and noticed a big difference in wobble at highway speeds.
If you're replacing your windshield, you might look at the Zero Gravity ST. I'm using it and love it.
As far as the body plastics go, you can get a set of black Acerbis plastics from amazon for about 100 bucks. LINK
Really thinking about this one.

People seem happy with it.
What does he currently own? I got a Fender rumble 40 that’s $200 Amazon.

If it ends up not working check this one out I just ordered it for mine but it hasn’t come in yet, beats 200 something for tjbc, even tho his is tight. Has a couple pics in the reviews with vlxs
An initial investment will be required. The Fender Squier is the absolute standard in beginner basses. $150 new, much cheaper used. So if you check ebay/craigslist, you may find some decent deals. Indeed it may be defected, but that's the risk you run when buying used gear. Maybe you can work out some deal with the seller. I'd buy a used amplifier as well. The Fender Rumble still serves me to this day as a practice amp. Either way, I would just look for cheap used equipment. Beginner gear isn't supposed to be amazing. Just functional. Whatever fits your budget.
I'm a gamer myself as well. A thing that keeps one playing games is a feeling of progression - you're improving in mechanical skills, equipment, talents, etc whenever you play the game. Things that were tough aint shit after a while. If you put the time in for Bass, you will have similar experiences. Songs that used to make you sweat become childsplay. You have no idea how you used to struggle on that. You will see tangible improvements.
If you want to use your PC, a possible solution is getting an Audio Interface. Rocksmith comes with a $40 cable that can be used as an Audio Interface iirc. I'd still recommend using Guitar Pro and going to https://www.ultimate-guitar.com/ for all your bass tab needs. I tried using Rocksmith last year and didn't like it. However, maybe I would have enjoyed it more as a new beginner, since many people in this thread recommend it. Too bad it didn't exist when I started! And again, I highly recommend you play with your friend. When you play with somebody better than you, it accelerates you much quicker. You're forced to get on their level.
I would say something in the 15 watt range would be plenty for bedroom practice.
I am fond of my Fender Rumble amp (http://www.amazon.com/Fender-Rumble-Bass-Combo-Amplifier/dp/B00HWINK1E $79). I use this one,s big brother in my band.
I also have a friend who has an Ampeg like this one (http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/BA108V2 $99) if you want to get a bit louder and dirtier. Welcome to the club!
That's a good deal. There's also this alternative for less money but it's just the bass itself. But with a bass amp like the Fender Rumble 15 it still adds up to $279. But with the deal you found on the Guitar Center site, I'd say go with the one you linked. It's the same price as what I just linked but yours has a lot of extra stuff. I say go for it! Maybe someone will post something better but until then I like the direction you're heading.

and is this cable ok? http://www.amazon.com/product/dp/B0002H0C7C
your thoughts?
Its a Moose fender bag that holds a spare 21" inner tube. I also have tire irons stashed between the bag and the fender - it seems to hold pretty well.

This is the front fender I run now and I think most people do, it’s a direct fit for my WR250X.
As for your tires, they might be brand new but they also might not be the Grippiest tires for street. I’m not saying that the tires are the problem either, it very well could be that you aren’t used to leaning over that far yet. Which is fine, it’ll all come in due time, just a matter of seat time.
Yeah, it's pretty terrible looking. UFO makes a pretty decent fender. Also, the Polisport headlight looks a million times better than the huge stock assembly imo
I own four amp/cabs sets. Different prices and different purposes.
Assuming that you are playing rock covers, in a medium sized pub, and you need to create all your own sound (no PA) then you probably want 200-300W. You could get away with less, but you don't want to be overworking your amp.
For that kind of wattage, you can find combos which are perfectly good. They are a) cheaper, b) easier to move, c) well-matched, d) less likely for your head to get stolen during the set break.
You have HEAPS of choices in the £500 range. I own one of these:
...does the job just fine. Just light enough to lug from car to stage without a trolley. But it's really boring. No character in the sound.
I'm really tempted to get one of these AMPEG combos.
...that's the largest combo they make. I bought the little baby brother BA-108 as a home, quiet practice amp, and I LOVE it. Love the sound of the 108, and it's crazy loud for the size. I'm so tempted to ditch my Ibanez and buy an AMPEG instead as my pub-gigging amp.
Fender is super solid for bass. Rumble has decades of pedigree.
Go ask on talkbass.com and you'll get 10 more excellent suggestions.
Which amp would be the best for me? A Fender Rumble 500 v3, a Gallien-Krueger MB115-ii, or an Orange Crush Pix CR100BXT? I play in a funky, psychadelic-ish, folk-ish, indie trio (I just need a versatile amp). I plan on getting a MIM Fender Standard Jazz Bass. I know these amps are not tube amps, but I can't afford a substantial tube amp, so one of these solid-states will have to do. Which one would be best for me?
Do what you think will make you want to play more-- within reason of course. A 4x10 cab would probably be a little overkill in your situation. Fender rumbles are great amps for the money. I had the older 75w version and then upgraded to a 150w version, but a 40w might be good enough for your needs

As for headphones-- I like the Sony MDR 7506. They dont look all that special, but theyre industry standard and have a great flat response.
Those are too flimsy w/o sides. You could benefit from ones like these made by Maier plastics. My dad had them on his 92 ktm 300 to make "bypass trails" through manzanita, lol.
Edit: I wish I knew if this $50 set comes w/ the framework or not.

A Fender Rumble should do!
Sorry man. I've been through this four times in three years so far. Be happy that the damage is minimal.
A quick google search brought me to this...

Two Bros exhaust was the first mod...Installed it about two weeks after I got the bike.
This is the exact one I ordered
Comes with all the hardware required. Don't make my mistake...make sure you've got a 6mm socket hex on an extension, because those bolts are really on there.

That’s this guy from Acerbis
Thanks man. Here is the fender. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000KOTY3K/ref=psdcmw_404665011_t1_B00ML4HXSU. The 12" was good for me just don't get the 8" it's probably too small
