Alright, so basically here is the deal. There are a LOT of things I still want to get for my FZ1, however money has basically run out and I am back to saving for things one at a time again...
My 1 year with my girl is coming June 8th, and she is getting me something for the bike. Somewhere around the 350 range I can spend. She is doing this because there is really nothing else that I want and we have both agreed that the bike is my prized possession so getting me something for that is the best gift by far haha.
Here is where I don't know what to do. Original plan was for her to get me the OEM belly pan, which I KNOW will look amazing. However, now I am looking around at a bunch of other things.
I know my rear shock sucks, that is a given. So I am kind of debating on getting the Penske 8900E, as I just don't see the need for the 8983 with how I ride the bike. Hellgate seems to really like his 8900 and he most likely rides the bike more aggressive than I do anyways so I am going to venture to say that's more than enough shock for me. If I go this route, I will have to add some of my own cash to go with hers to get the shock.
Then there are steering dampers. Was looking at the Hyperpro top mounted one. But I am not sure exactly how needed this really is. It seems like only 30% of the people with FZ1's even use them.
And then there is the belly pan... But that is literally just a cosmetic thing so other than looks, it serves no purpose.
I will be getting a PC3/PCV on my own some time over the summer, so I am not going to have her get me that as I will eventually find a good deal on one.
So basically, if you were me.. What would you get? You can mention something else if you like as well.
Thanks!
