Which brand? Nate isn't going to be able to get everything under the sun. Just a little reminder.

Woodcrafts would be awesome. And a Puig windscreen would be nice, too. Also, K&N air filters, anyone?...
I might be interested in a Puig or Zero Gravity screen and maybe some shorty levers. Would like Woodcraft clip-ons but I don't have the money for that right now. Well maybe if it was cheap enough. Gonna go through Martin for my exhaust in the off season.
This is just an idea thread. No group buy is in the planning for a little while. The point behind the group buy is a discount, and hopefully will make the prices affordable for people that are wanting particular mods. Essentially, this is a wish list thread. Let me know the item that you want the most, and I will get it setup into a group buy.

There's so many things bouncing around in my head. Oh well we will start with one at a time 
There are several things I want, but I think the most reasonable mods for a group buy would be things like:
Chain/Sprocket combos (we all need them eventually)
Levers (I like ASV from yami's site I think but too $$) those ones that CC linked for before might be interesting or Pazzos.

For anyone that is interested in a Puig windscreen:
Puig Racing Windscreen for FZ6R 09-12 - Windscreens - Street Parts - SoloMotoParts.com - Motorcycle Parts, Accessories and Gear
Apparently a lot of distributors have stopped offering Puig since the shipping costs from Spain are crazy, and therefore Nate can not beat that price from solomotoparts, so a group buy will not really save a lot of money. Apparently the margins on windscreens are very minute, so it doesn't look like a group buy for windscreens will work. Keep the ideas coming, I have him working on a few things that could be cool group buys.

I'm just gonna black mine out with paint like a few others have done lately. I have no need to be able to see through it and wanted it pretty dark, so black it is. Maybe interested in Woodcraft clipons.
OOH OHH!! I want this!!
A WEEE Bit pricey but would be nice!! Especially with Racetech or Hyperpro front springs!!

Why would you want race tech gold valves? Simply take out your stock valves, drill the oil pholes out larger and re-shim it. Saves a lot of money compared to the $150 race tech
I am not that brave of a modder and am not sure I could find a shop near me that would do something like that.. Took allot of convincing from FZWhite and Cavcuz (spelling?) among comments from a few others to convince me to try doing the headlight retrofit.

Ok just thought I would help ya out. If you do get the gold vlve kit just hold it up to the stock one and see the difference. Then it is easier to understand.

To me it would kind of depend on weather everyone wanted a small cheaper option or a larger more expensive item such the last group buy with the exhaust and juice box.
Personally I would be interested in something like a power comander, block off plates, and possibly a high flow filter(though I am not really a fan of K&N's myself).
Something a little cheaper would maybe be lowering link and kick stand combo though I'm sure the price drop would not be as significant as something that generally costs more. But hey, savings are savings.

Tires would be nice but would have to find a way to do it on maybe 2 or 3 different brands or models because they can be pretty polarizing. Some like Dunlop Roadsmart 2, Michellin Pilot 3, shinko 009, and others.
Helmet might be hard for same reason, and that many helmets are particular to head shape and HOPEFULLY you are one and done for a few years.. So hopefully everyone would have one, in which situation only a select few would yet need one or be time for replacement.
Sorry, this post of mine kinda really sucks.. I hate being negative, but this post of mine sounds negative!
