Happy Saturday morning from NH. So I thought I would expand on my plans and get some ideas and feedback.
I'm going to consider these things "Stage 2". So that means they're probably not going to happen before I start to ride the Hawk.
So here we go, in no particular order.....
Some Fat bars: here's 2 I'm considering

I'd also like some bar risers to go with them so I'll need to locate some of those. My DRZ had some that raised and moved the bars forward and it made a huge difference me.
Handguards
Not sure what I want....just something to keep the brush and bugs off my knuckles. open to suggestions for cheap/reasonable options here
Rear Shock
This one's a biggy and I'm wondering if I should get one on the way. I feel like with my size and wanting to use this more off road than on this would be a worth while upgrade. I also wouldn't mind raising the seat height an 1". So I need to look at options for this....suggestions are welcomed
Exhaust
This one I keep going back and forth on. I dont' want to draw unwanted attention or have a "loud" bike but I'd like the performance upgrade and a nicer tone. I could gut the cat, and I might go that route but I'm seriously considering this system....

If anyone has this can you speak to it's sound level and just overall how you like it? It appeals to me more than some of the others I've seen because it looks stock, not racy, and word is it's an easier install.
So here's just a few other things to throw out there:
LED Headlight bulb (H4 right?)
LED Tail/Brake light (anyone know what one to get?)
Footpegs (maybe we'll see)
IMS or MSR Shifter
Adjustable CDI
TT250 Seat (will see how I like the stock hawk seat)
I'm sure I'll think of more, HAHA. I want to figure out some sort of rear rack so I can mount a bag or small hard case without spending a fortune.
Till next time - Keep the shiny side up.
