On the "Wish List"...
Stem:
Install of a 2nd stem. Involves adding a Dimension stem riser, and the addition of a second stem where I will mount a short piece of handle bar tube where the new handlebar bag mounting location will be. This will allow the bag to be mounted lower, making for better control over steering, and some more handlebar real estate for mounting a headlight (or two).
GPS Unit mount: Will be making a mount to attach my Lowrance iFinder H2O GPS unit to.
Geez - I hope I didn't forget anything...
