What to buy first for my X?

Subject: What to buy first for my X? Mon Sep 20, 2010 3:05 pm

I am curious what everyone's opinion is about what I should buy next: Performance or Cosmetics.

So far all I have done is a new SM fender and K&N air filter......... so as of now I am even, one performance and one cosmetic. I am working with about $300 (not a ton but you gotta start somewhere).

What would you all do with it?

Within two days of buying my brand new X I had or had ordered:
new handlebars (hate the stock bend)
hand guards
aluminum skid plate
K&N air filter
removed airbox door
magnetic drain plug
12 tooth front sprocket
more open/lighter front sprocket cover
cut front fender
removed ugly fork reflectors & added a pile of reflective tape
fork oil changed to Ohlins 5 weight
full set of dirt wheels from Forrest at Wheeling Cycle wink

I think that's all Shog

The tail needs a bit of a redo, but haven't gotten to that yet.

Forrest at Wheeling Cycle has 'em. We ordered a nice big box full of stuff for my WRX from him.

That actually is a good idea.........I will probably end up getting the Edge tail light w/ integrated signals and a pair Zeta hand guards w/ signals. From what I can gather from this forum, I should wait until I have enough moolah to get the full exhaust plus power commander all at the same time. Thanks for the help though. wings

I put the Zeta barkbusters, HID light, Edge tail w/ int signals and three sets os sliders.

Safety and protection first, then mod the hell of the engine. cheers

Doesn't look all that different from stock, really. Shog

I like this shot of it in "dirt trim". It hadn't even been out of the garage on those tires yet Very happy

It spends most of its time looking like a pretty stock X that seldom gets washed!

Gotta love another chick on a dirtbike.

Yeah I think that I will get the cosmetics lined up before getting into the performance area. I havent thought about sliders but they would probably be a good idea. Thanks.
