So far I've got the 14T front sprocket, tail chop, frame sliders, and CF Termis on order.  I'm looking to do one of these three next: Steering damper, corbin seat, or purchase some leather pants.  Any thoughts?

I vote for gear.

I dont follow the logic of this advice  Huh?   If you hit the road the gear can never wait, and a steering damper isnt gonna help you if some inattentive bozo causes you to go arse-over-tit.

Sounds like he already has some gear.  We all don't ride with leather pants, besides leather pants are not going to save you from any impact just the road rash!

you are right, not everyone rides in leathers.
Leather pants before anything else. Good gear is always worth the money. Buy yourself an Arai Helmet as well, you 'll be thankful if you ever need to use it!
Yesterday I saw a boy out on a gixxer in a t-shirt,sun was out it was 55*. Bozo.

Yeah, but if you fall without leather you have skin grafts on top of the broken bones and internal injuries.  

Just the road rash.... NSFW

Get the pants.  I've had the occasion to actually use mine.  I'm glad I had em.  It happened when I wasn't riding hard.

pants do help with impact. My pants have knee protection and hip protection, on top of skin-graft prevention.

Gear gets a big +1.

Then a sargent seat. boo to corbin.

Maybe replace the mirrors?  Get some CRG's?

A lot of guys got Rizoma grips, I did as well, though I switched back to stock.  IMO not very comfortable.

I just lowered my gauges and converted to clipons, love it, so glad I did it.  Send my u-bracket to TAftonomos for the modification.

I don't always ride with my leather pants, or always with my dedicated riding boots.  But always with leather jacket, gloves, and helmet... but thats when i'm headed to campus, or the store, or to a friends place... only short rides.

Any time I go out riding, full gear.  I love it.
