My 14 is back in road trim for the winter, the Brocks system is hanging on the garage wall, the ride height is set to standard and the mirrors are back on.
I plan to ride it whenever possible, hopefully every week, as long as the roads are dry and salt free. It will sit in my warm, dry garage plugged into the battery charger (Optimate) for the rest of the time.

22 degrees here with snow on the ground  The possibility of selling the bike in spring exists but probably won't happen. As soon as I make up my mind I will be changing the gearing and adding extensions as well as adjustable lowering links.
Of course after reading this board lately I am seeing that the Busa is clearly the better bike so maybe I will just trade mine in so I can go fast to. Who knows??

As for me this winter I won't be making any changes due to $$. Maybe, just maybe a new shock will be purchased after my wedding in march!

rich s got me too
I was fixing to +1 eklipse. On that loosa post,so u got me too. Winter upgrades started yesterday when I finall found a non zx engraved pass peg plug I have been hunting. Some galfer 2.8 mm brake lines are next,but have to decide if I want to do a small strech 1st. Everything is 3 to 9 which is more than I want. Just 3 would suit me I think. Guess I will polish the rear sub-frame as a scratch was found on last clean-up.lowering strap. Stiffer front and rear springs are needed as well. The one for sure thing that will be coming is more polished pieces cause I do it myself and enjoy seeing the parts start to get their bling on.

Bike is covered in the garage with a full tank treated with seafoam and a fresh oil change. Also put in a new stock air filter and put it on a Battery tender. Got a new set of Carrozzeria's in Black, Pirelli Angel tires, Sato rearsets and a bestem Carbon Fiber Undertail. All have to be installed.
