decisions

The weather has not been too great lately. Nor have I had the time (life keeps getting in the way of enjoyment) to get out as often as I'd like for long runs.
So I've been grabbing a few miles here and there. Like this morning. The forecast was to be rain later in the day so I headed out at nine for an hour or two. Being Sunday morning there was also the benefit of really quiet roads.
The one good thing about not running up a huge mileage tally, is that I'm taking my time and considering how I'm going to customise the night train.
There are three areas I'd like to personalise. Comfort, style and performance.
Style will most likely be "keep it black!" Then for performance, some new pipes.
So, the first is probably the one I should take time over to get right.
Although I do like the drag styling of the stock "train", I feel that I'd fit better with a more upright riding stance, so I've decided to replace the high riser and flat bars with apes. It's just getting the style of riser and height of the bars right. There are so many choices it's not an easy pick.
Hopefully I'll have it worked out in my mind soon.
