What is your wish list?

So far all I have done to my Vaquero is a mustang seat, passenger back rest, Kuryakyn grips and a K&N air filter. Money is tight right now so I am just dreaming of the things I want but my list right now is highway pegs, Ipod adapter (and an Ipod), usb port, cup holder, cell phone holder and maybe some kind of lighting. If anyone has some cheap options for a beverage to keep me hydrated without pulling over and something to house my cell phone so I can use it as a gps that would be great. Or just feel free to dream with me and share your wish list.

My wish list is short. I just want to buy another bike. (I'm currently bikeless.) I'm dead broke and currently unemployed so it won't happen any time soon.

For my 2011 Vulcan 1700 Nomad...

In order;
1. Ivan's ECU Flash
2. switch to synthetic fluids
3. a trunk
4. Kury ISO grips
5. a tachometer
6. Cee Bailey windshield
7. repair/repaint right saddlebag lid, I dropped the bike the first day I had it. Put some serious gouges in the lid and the windshield.
8. larger lowers
edit* 9. Garry's Fork Brace


I have no issues/concerns with the stock intake nor exhaust so they don't make the list. The ECU flash will be top priority though, my MPG's are around 33-35 depending. Hopefully the flash will improve this.

All I need is to rent an ECU so I can send mine in to Ivan. I can't stop riding. It hurts. I have not fired up the truck for 3 weeks now. What for I have a 2016 Vaquero.

So An Ecu, and this lamp and this thermos, and that's all I need.

My wish Aron , is to have less winter and a lot more summer !

When I'm not working or sleeping I'm on my bike getting away from everything . It's not the destination but rather the ride that matters the most .

Isn't that the truth!! Too bad, most of us only have 20/20 vision in hindsight. .

Amp and new speakers.

Make a luggage rack for the trunk and rack/kick guards for the saddle bags.

Make a camper trailer.

Ride a LOT more.

I get the reference... remember to stay away from the cans too.

I only get to see my bike for a month each year. I work in Saudi and have to plan my vacation to coincide with weather forcast at home.
