Just as I got home tonight I hit the milestone. Thinking about getting something nice for it over the winter but sure what yet.

I was thinking something a bit more conservative. Where that might look great on one turning 20 or even 25, on one turning 50 augmentations like that might look out of place. Maybe just a nice gold chain or some sprockets. It is a 05 LE without much done to it but regular maintenance since I got it new. A daily commuter to Boston that has its share of bruises to prove it. Chain and sprockets are original and in good shape. I did the basics way back when, HID, TRE, slip-ons that got trashed when hit, braided brake lines. I don't think I'm ready to turn it over to GIXERHP for a full facelift yet.

How about a new seat? Corbin?
I have a trunk and saddlebags and like that I can get groceries and not have to carry my Helmet, Jacket, and gloves into stores.
How many miles on your tires? Time for a change? I like my Dunlop Q3's Went with a 190/55 and like that change too. Made in USA.
Are those ^^^ conservative enough for you?
Good job turning 50K.
Bring it up, Brian's bike will be here soon also

Some interesting ideas, thanks Seat and ECM flash might be nice. Tires are fresh this fall, got them on for a weekend ride that almost happened. Would have to see the bags on her (do these make me look fat?) to know if I like that one. I'll keep looking for ideas and spring will be here soon.

Thanks John, I will keep that in mind if I want to up the power the easy way.

Sell it, and buy yourself a brand new 2014 model with 00000.0 miles on it. It's like bangin a new girlfriend

training wheels?
Not sure where to find training wheels for a Busa, where did you get yours or maybe I can just try them out when you're done.

Suspension rebuild or upgrade.
A few years ago when my 99 Blackbird had 77K I replaced the fork springs. According to the shop manual they were in spec as far as measurement, but I went ahead and replaced them with just new OEM I had on the shelf. Wow- Huge difference.
My 02 Busa has 38K and suspension upgrade will be at the top of the list.

Spring soon? It's not even winter yet - just because I have 6 inches of snow on the ground now with 3 - 8 inches
Forecast for tonight doesn't mean it's getting it out of its system. Probably going to be a long winter like last year.
