What to buy first....

[Ckennedy]

I have managed to compile a list of bits and pieces I want to buy for the bike but unsure what to buy first. There all just things I want rather than need. Well apart from 1 item.

The list consists of things for the bike and a new set of leathers. The leathers I want are the RST slide 2piece suit £350.
Or there as bits for the bike. New race style foot pegs £28, new undertray which was posted on here as a link to ebay for an unpainted one £25, shorty leavers £35, braided brake hoses £60, HRC throttle body £28, and a new set of grips at £20.

The leathers I could do with as I currently have a old pair of touring style trousers, leather but no sliders ect and an RST jacket which is textile but the zips are starting to fall off and it has had a lot of use in the couple of years I have had it. Other thing is I can get all the mods I want for the bike for a lot less than the leathers but at the same time the leathers are slightly more important as mine are a bit battered. It is proberly a no brainer, needs over wants but I just can not make my mind up. Any words of advice? I should also add that I am moving house soon so money will be tighter.

Leathers first.....

You can buy the bits for the bike one bit at a time as dosh frees it's self up.

I have been buying new gear this year month by month, trouble is I took things too far when I went in & asked to buy one boot in April & the other in May .....You should have seen the faces behind the till when I asked for just the right trouser leg in June.....

Haha I get your point. Does make sense to get the leathers first as the most expensive and needing them with having more money at the moment. Just can not wait to get all my bits and pieces for the bike

While on the subject of bike. Have your CCT's been changed/modified yet? Make sure she's mechanically good before adding the bling.

First spend should be on manual CCT's if not already done, then wait until BMF Tailend rally at Peterborough where you will find any gear you need at veryy good prices

[Ckennedy]

No the CCT's have not been done yet. I have been looking at getting them done but I do not have the space in which to do them safely, i.e not loosing anything/in case it rains ect. Also I'm not feeling so confident on doing them myself. Me and words do not go down to well, often miss read stuff so as you can imagin word manuals are not my favourite of things. Takes me long enough to make sure I have read replies right on here to have to sit through a manual and make sure I am getting the mod right. It is something I want to get done though.

Leathers first matey, followed as closely as possible by some action re the cct's, either manuals or the stopper mod.
