        Not quite sure why you would do them so far apart when you have to take the headlight apart to do either of them. Better to do them at the same time. Also, suspension and tires(depending) should be toward the top of the list IMO because it's what makes the bike handle.

          Get rid of all the blingy crap, suspension tires and drivetrain should easily come first.
          90% of motorcycle forum members do not have a service manual for their bike.

            Good point.. I have the angle eyes already, so maybe i'll wait on them.

            Tires only have about 800 miles on them.. With susupension, what should be done to it? (I know there are a bunch of answers for this) but in your opinion.. Nothing is leaking from the forks or rear shock. And Drivetrain won't be done until this offseason. It doesn't need chain and sprockets yet, but just want to do them before they become an issue.

              Get fork springs the correct spring rate for your weight. Consider adding emulators.

              For the rear shock, get it respring for your weight and recharged. Consider revalving.

                I would go with chain/sprockets, and brake components first. Then, everything else in whatever order you see fit.
                Extra life.

                      T's the man when it comes to suspension, and potatoes.

                          Well I went with the advice of most and just ordered Chain and sprokets and brake pads.. Will be ordering the G&J after I decide on a color.. Really thinking the blue or smoke.. but can't decide

                            Just thought I'd chime in about the exhaust...I just bought a Delkevic 14" and its awesome! Can't believe the quality and sound from a pipe half the cost of a yoshimura!

                              Did you jet your bike as well? And glad to hear that. I haven't really heard anything bad about them at all.
