(Part 2) Top products from r/bikesgonewild

I highly recommend this kit http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000TVAIG6?pc_redir=1405023855&robot_redir=1
My girlfriend picked it up for me as a gift one day and it's honestly very good. And I am one to never give into gimmicks of the auto cleaning world but this one is awesome. The only thing that is meh is the drying towel. It's one of those rubberized chamois cloths, and those never seem to work out anyway. Everything else is awesome!

• Meguiar's Gold Class Car Wash
  
• Meguiar's NXT Generation Tech Wax 2.0
  
• Simple green (for the wheels)
  
  Always use a wash mitt (do not use a sponge), dry with a chamois, and always work in the shade. I also use the 2 bucket method with grit guards. Basic vid here (there are much better ones out there but it's a pretty easy method to grasp)
  
  Hope this helps!

Ya man. I absolutely love white tire lettering. Did it on my last bike as well. Looks great in person. Extremely time consuming and strenuous though, to do well. Easier with the tires off the bike of course.

What you need is this Sharpie OIL BASED paint marker. Last basically all season and then some. Very durable

Rizoma makes the best I've heard. Hot bodies makes some nice flush mounts for the front aswell. If you end up wanting to go the cheaper eBay/Amazon route I recommend not even trying for LEDs. Cheap <$50 LED turn signals aren't worth the box they come in in the daytime. Mini standard bulb turn signals work well and [look good] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000VSEIYU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_YzILxb4D5N0AD) IMO.

I got pretty much everything on amazon, save for the seat and bags.

I just got done installing a Memphis Shades Batwing with lower deflectors, and a Ultimate seat with backrest on mine a couple weeks ago. The 6" recurve/spoiler windshield I ordered for the batwing is a bit to short for me (I'm 5'8"), which causes wind buffeting around my helmet. I'm still debating on going for a 9" spoiler or 11" standard. The seat, while being a bit more firm, is a lot more supportive than the stock one. I haven't had the chance to test out the backrest yet, but it seems like it will make longer trips much more comfortable/tolerable.

The Viking Bags I got for it should have been a bolt on affair, but they conflicted with the shock and seat so I brought the bike to a local shop to get them installed properly and the turn signals relocated. I should have ordered the shock cutout versions, but didn't check until after the return date, oh well, live and learn.

Some other universal things I installed myself were Grip Puppy comfort grips, motorcycle bar phone mount, bluetooth remote control with bar mount.

This job was an amalgamation of many different components rather than a single kit.

I bought two of these packs and some wire, and some quick connectors

http://www.amazon.com/Allstar-Performance-ALL76232-Universal-Connector/dp/B003C01FD6/ref=sr_1_cc_2?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1369623890&sr=1-2-catcorr&keywords=12v+connector

and then I took my soldering iron and went at it with some black electrical tape and heat-shrink tubing

I had a remote & module left over from my last bike, which is why i opted to do it this way rather that buy a new kit from a site like ledglow.com

Coincidentally, the module I am using is from ledglow.com

My method is not for the faint of heart. I recommend buying a plug and play 6 or 8 pc kit, rather than trying to make your own kit like I did, but to answer your question the LED's were from amazon with that first link.

I wouldn't even bother with investing. I bought these after trying them and they work great. They actually let you hear your surroundings better by filtering out wind noise and still allow you to hear the exhaust tone. Then when they start looking old and used you just toss them and use another pair.

Thanks, I'll look into the cam tensioner. Might be good to install that at the same time the tank comes off for painting later this fall. The sparkplug will be changed then too, and oil etc.
Got my license test next thursday so I'll find out about the butthurt after that I guess :)
Allready fitted the battery with ctek's charging wires to get around the need to pull the seat off every time the battery needs charging.

Looks like these - http://www.amazon.com/Bikemaster-Universal-Ultra-Small-Signals/dp/B000VSCDWO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1374627676&sr=8-1&keywords=bikemaster+turn+signals -

They're decent quality - bright - and looks nice and sleek. Sometimes the stems fall apart out and are weak. I've had about 3 pairs.

Here you go. It's pretty cheap and does work well.

It was this one. I got the dark smoke one at first but it was pretty much black and I didn't like that. You can find more pics of it on my instagram.

so for the gsxr im using this padding. ive found the seat is a little bit too hard on my butt. the padding on my butt is sort of misplaced so i tend to sit right on the bone rather than having padding for that area. figured this would help, and i can always throw a folded up towel/rag type thing underneath for added pad.

For the headlight, part of me wants the LSL urban or LSL mt03 kit but that shit is WAY expensive for a headlight. I will probably end up going with something like the Dominator style dual or even single headlight. see here for some different light styles that im talking about

For the coolant reservoir, im going to use the standard aluminum bottle. Ill probably zip tie it to the frame. my bike has a black/white color scheme currently, though its normally black/white/silver under whatever plastidip the previous owner threw on. i was thinking of getting a bottle like this for the coolant.

For the speedo/instrument cluster, my friend said he could rig up a sort of bracket. He's going to get back to me on this, but we'll either have it attached to the front forks or the triple tree. If all else fails (or maybe just in the future), i might grab something like a trailtech vapor or even one of those translogic microdash. But that shit is way too expensive for me to grab right now.

Its not really necessary, but i figure i'm also going to splurge on a spiegler riser bar kit.

So far, its looking like its going to be 400 for the riser, im not going >200 for the headlight and mount, and then thats really about it apart from the 20 dollar seat cushion and the 2 dollar water bottle. hopefully my current guage will look just fine, i really dont want to replace it.

Also, not sure if i want to get a headlight with a wind screen or not. theres those Ascerbis headlights that have a nice dirt bike-like windscreen. i dunno yet.

Try some chain wax spray, that stuff sticks to the chain very nicely.

I don't know why I didn't just google it first, but in case anyone else was curious, I believe I found them.

Here is what I'm using for the rack and for the [cargo netting I'm using a cheap one on amazon] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0022ZXO40/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1). The rack has been great so far but I'm not 100 on the netting juuusssst yet

Thanks! I'll look into the chin fairing idea. I never really did like how the header pipes stuck out so much. You are probably right about no one making them for a 250 but I think I can fabricate something. The head light was actually bought off amazon.

That was the one I got.
