Bike overhaul, need suggestions

I really wanted to do this during the winter, but due to a dead battery and some electrical popping noises Im forced to do it during riding season

So since Im gonna rip it apart, what other things do I need to add to my list of "Making the Superchicken Better"?

so far I have:
Stainless brake lines (need new ones since adding the GSXr calipers)
Replace my current flat spotted steering bearing
jet kit
pair block off
Quicker shifting hawk mod
replace cct
throttle position adjustment
carb sync
Replace spark plugs
KN filter
Find a damn F3 wheel in good condition

Well, other than suspension mods that really transform the bike, the only other thing I can recommend is a high performance muffler bearing and 5wt headlight fluid.








I think you have it about covered.

High density engine compression...good for a few hp.....oh, and a transmission resonator.....


One last thing, if you can locate a good di-lithium crystal you'll be the envy of your neighborhood, maybe the whole county....

Sorry, didn't mean for it to turn out this way. That's why I added the comment to the end of my post.

But then again, when you have a hundred thousand posts it's easy to forget these things.
