My winter project was a toss up between doing the cams, or replacing the radio. I commute with the bike almost daily, even in the winter. While there's always a want for more power, most of my rides I more find myself wishing I could hear the radio, so that won out. Thanks to @yankphan along with some speaker upgrades, I can hear the radio now.
My first real ride was this past weekend. After about 100 miles, as I was putting the bike away, I noticed my right fork was wet with oil. I can't afford to replace the stock innards with anything aftermarket at the moment, so I just ordered the rebuild kits and oil form Witchdoctors. Hopefully it will be as easy as the videos make it look, though I'm doubtful as I have a stone floor in the garage and no motorcycle jack.

A while back I rebuilt my forks.
Here's the link.
I think you are going to need a jack or lift.

Got the cams in and new aluminum Intake. Took the forks off to send to Scott at conquest customs. Just need to wire the sound system and put it back together when the forks get back. New magnum wheels and Avon rubber going on too.

What do you think of the intake? I've been considering one.

I know a motorcycle lift would make things much easier, but it won't work on a stone floor. All I have is a car jack, which I can get under the bike. My plan is to jack it up with that, use some 2x4 pieces to keep it off the ground and go from there. I will stabilize the bike by tying it to the roof rafters so I don't knock it over while doing the job. I work with seals for a living, so the rebuild doesn't scare me at all. The only part I'm nervous about is getting the correct amount of oil back in.

If you install a steel skid plate it will make it much safer to lift the bike.
Witchdoctors has them as I saw a used one from Victory Police recently on ebay.
I know it sucks paying 2-3 hundred for one, but it's cheaper than having the bike fall.
