MAJOR understatement
Was telling Phil yesterday I've had to fight hard to put the brakes on re aftermarket bits for the new baby - ZG Double Bubble, stand knobs, and new rego plate are on their way - almost bought braided lines, bar risers and oggies before slowing down and deciding to let the credit card settle a bit

There's plenty of time left for that - just get one extra "bit" a month

I did - and just in time for a majorly heavy downpour on Tuesday night.
Beautiful boots - got home with absolutely no leakage whatsoever, the Gearne's were never that good.
Still wearing them in but their pretty comfortable - a bit squeaky (due to the TCS) as you mentioned though.

Don't bother with bar risers, give it couple of weeks and you won't notice that they are lower than you've been used to

I know! Dunno how you can stand it
I'm sure I'll get used to it - it was a thought on the first ride home - but I haven't really had a problem commuting this week.
As Phil said I've got the time for the other stuff - I've spent over $2000 on stuff since getting the bike - mostly necessities, so time to cool off.
Though there's a shark rear stand going for $100 on oroadsports....
