So was my Birthday today and I'd asked the wife for cash to add to my secret 'mod pot'.
I've been adding to it whenever the opportunity presents itself, cash back at the weekly Tesco shop is always a favourite 😉

I had been planning to do:
Nitrate coat fork stanchions (Black)
Bates twin lights
Full tail tidy

But,,, I now have enough in the pot to go for Yoshi Cyclone (Black) if so desired. I have a pc 3 lying around as well so would need a bit of dyno time to do the job properly.

I only spent £400 on the Cobra slip on 18 months ago but the Cyclone full system is calling my name!!!

I'm not a pony chaser, astetics are way more important to me but the Cyclone has both looks and performance 🤔

What's a man to do!!!

Had a funny card off the boy

Think exhaust studs and then see what else you can do for the same money .
You've been on about your black forks for a long time now .
Nice dilemma to have  :onya:
only a slightly modified gsx1400
oh and a standard one too

With such a good system already on your bike Red, I would also be putting it into the forks or elsewhere.

So long as it's black, yeah?  :onya:  Jim Beam Black?   :cheers:

Having slept on the idea I think the consensus here is right and I'd regret spaffing best part of a grand on the Cyclone, back to plan A I think  :computer_type:

I've created a spread sheet to record all the bits I've done and how much they cost... I've recently password protected that file just in case!  :salute:

It's sad Red. You are a year older now & are already showing your older mature/sensible side  :grin:  :onya:
