Default Your Christmas list

So what things motorcycle related are on your Christmas list? I'm trying to come up with some ideas for Santa.

I just ordered a flex arm mounted dial indicator and a spoke wrench so I can true my own wheels, 3/8" drive metric hex key set, 2 tubes, 2 rim strips, chain, chain press, front brake pads, 4 metal valve stem caps with core remover built in, front and rear wheel bearing, and a spare wheel set with 50 tooth rear sprocket.

My actual Xmas list is a decent mechanic's tool set, the 2 large odd size sockets required for the CS sprocket and rear axle bolts (23 and 27mm?) and thats about it, keeping it simple.

13/45 sprockets, new chain, and quiet core with repacking for the big gun.... maybe a new pair of boots.

I'd be happy with a nice new jacket, then again maybe some barkbusters, better front tyre, and a bigger fuel tank...
I've been good this year so Santa should be good to me.

Cheers
Chris.

I want new wave rotors for my BMW R1150R, a steering damper for my CBR600RR, and Clarks Tank for my KLX. Oh yeah I really want that fancy suede seat that Brian(nobrakes) has on his Katooooom! for my KLX too.

You're going to have deej go into cardiac arrest, lol.
How is the seat holding up? Does it get even more comfy once it breaks-in to the shape of your a$$?
Is the suede tough to clean?

I just hose it off, the mud comes off ok. I'm not worried about keeping it looking new, I think that'd look weird, it's a dirt bike after all.

It works great and it does get even better after some break-in time. After the last few rides around here I decided to put my stock gas tank on for the smaller capacity, less weight, and narrower width making the bike more maneuverable in the tight stuff. Unfortunately, the two different tanks take different seat pans and I had the Renazco built on the seat pan that goes with the larger tank.

To make a long story short, I had to put the stock seat back on for the smaller tank, and after riding about 70 miles or so today of trails and connecting pavement, I could tell a big difference at the end of the day between it and how I felt with the Renazco. I'm seriously thinking about getting a 2nd one, and having James build up this seat too that way I'll be covered regardless of which tank I use.
