Honda XR600

so now have my bike of choice, a Honda Xr600, its a 93 model

so has the following upgrades already sorted:
22l acerbis fuel tank-should be good for at least 200+miles
WR front forks-reduces the flex from the old forks, are fully adjustable and should handle much better when under load
Bolt on oil cooler- nice mod, holds more oil so makes service intervals less frequent, aids engine cooling in any hot enviroments
Renthal bars with risers-stronger and lighter then stock and is a big improvement when standing up
Full FMF powercore exhaust system-much lighter then standard and improves running of the bike, sounds good but not to loud, had to be purchased as the old system had rotted away

already have a 250w stator on the way to run extra lights and be able to charge a small battery and run 12v socket, sat nav etc

this is what it looks like at the moment out in the snow
