And 15T or -1 front, pending what's on there now. Hoping to see if they can just switch the ECU to "map 2" over the original pre-programed emissions one, that seems to be a quick fix to new pipes.(and lots cheaper)

That's ok, we do have a Pedrosa step here though.
yeah the wide seats don't do great things for my already short inseam

You must not be married. If I tried to get another bike in the garage for me, the wife would tell me I would have to sleep with them and sell the everything else that I own personally. I told her I was "LOOKING" at used sport bikes for a round towner/back and forth to work bike and she nearly shit a kitten.

I wish I either had a wife as understanding as yours or you bank book which ever is better.

There's 2 suspension freaks around that can give ample advice, one of them local CMRA racer/owner of Road & Track Suspension. He does A TON of work for me on most of my bikes.

That's funny, actually Skiergirl on this forum is my better half. And speaking of half, 2 of those bikes are her's. The GSXR and blue YZ250F dirtbike. We're not married, but there's no point in that "holiest of unions" if you can't have what you want out of life.

**Update**

Bike is skipping the airbox, getting a PCIII/Tune, +2 rear to avoid wearing the chainguard near the swingarm pivot and fixing a stator wire. Apparently it was running like dog poop, so I should be in for a world of awesome after they get the PCIII and electrical figured out cause I thought this bike already had a set of balls on it. Damn AF1 rocks!

Guess I need to get my tires in order for the upcoming H2R Shootout followed by the fall trackdays.
