Question Finished. OK now what?

Ok I am having trouble dealing with the fact that my bike is, in regards to mods, and IMO, finished.

I noted down all the mods I have done.

1. Replaced stock indicators (includes non load dependent flasher)
2. Replaced exhaust system with Big Gun full system
3. Installed Barkbuster Ego hand guards
4. Installed extra heavy duty tubes and rim lock
5. Cut down both levers
6. Removed rear carry rack, helmet lock, chain guard, seat strap, rear foot pegs, rear fender extension number plate holder, left mirror and mount
7. Removed rear brake light switch, stand cut out switch and clutch switch.
8. Removed air box lid
9. Replaced stock handle bars
10. Installed 300ccc kit
11. Replace stock tool bag with Otter box on rear fender
12. Replaced stock front sprocket from 14 to 13 teeth
13. Replaced carb with Mikuni 33mm pumper (Actually a Bill Blue 34)
14. Installed bash plate
15. Replaced stock dials with Garmin Zumo 550 GPS (includes removal of speedo cable and ignition switch)
16. Replaced stock fuel tank with Clarke
17. Installed front fender bag (carries spare tube, pump and pressure gauge)
18. Installed Acerbis Dimension headlight (high beam disconnected)
19. Installed Motion Pro Vortex throttle
20. Suspension properly lowered, re-valved, and tuned. (side stand shortened)
21. Fabricated new dash. (includes toggle switch to replace ignition switch)

Now I'm getting tinkeritis and need some ideas on something else i can do.

Nothing that is purely cosmetic.
Needs to have a practical reason.

Hey Neil, now you should pull everything off, strip the bike and paint it, then put it all back together again, re-greasing everything on the way "i'm nearly at the same point of you" I don't really want to do any more mods then I will be in your situation... One thing I have to do is solder all the wiring properly for the blinkers and headlight, I just have them twisted and heat shrunk at the moment but would like to solder them!!!

Cheers
Chris.

I have thought about that but I don't want to add the weight unless I have to.
So far I haven't needed it but it's in my mind.

Rad Guards? mmm Idea.
I will be the first thing fitted "after" I put a stick through one.
Brake lines? mmmm Idea.
For off road use I find the brakes are OK, but it's on the list.
Foot pegs? mmmm Idea.
But I only have size 5 feet.
