In classic "me" style Ive completely fumbled any purchasing restraint, all mental discipline flew out the window and I purchased the Bitubo JBH forks (+oil) and XZE-11 shock for my beloved Dr. Beef Sharmachan. My bike and gear is partially Italian already which has all proven to be top of the line in quality, the internet seems to like the brand and the pretty pretty colours match my overall scheme. Alas, still no German parts so Dr. Beef's AXIS designation is still fleeting. These puppies will be my winter project. 
I mirror the common consensus here when I say Paul @ Bellissimoto was excellent to work with and provided a smooth transaction. Even for our mediocre Canuck dollar it was an amazing deal.
 
Anyone looking for that special suspension upgrade, be sure to check out Bellissimoto as well as ForksByMatt in our vendor section. Both have been highly praised.

Congrats on having as little restraint as I have. :D I ordered the same setup from Paul earlier this week. I'm really looking forward to spending a day or two getting it installed once it arrives. The first real performance "mod" I'll be doing to the bike. Everything else I've done to it has been either convenience (vista cruise)/safety (LED Bulbs) /appearance (fender eliminator) mods.
HA yeah no kidding, any restraint I have in regards to this bike dissolves within a week. I feel I might not have the tools for these particular installs, might have to rent out a friend's assistance and garage. My only other performance mod has been the Hordpower filter and PC-V.  Any flash IMO is not necessary after this lovely addition, its so beautifully smooth and damn it looks and sounds really cool. I highly recommend it.  
Ditto, Ive got so many lights/safety related bits etc as well, my wife said it looks like a u.f.o. crossed with a wood stove. :D There really is not much left for me to change out.  If you're looking for some stellar mini leds check out these tiny bikevis bullets... low draw, inexpensive, and effective.
Spend and be merry!

With regards to finding jeans with Kevlar/ armor that fit well, I sent my a pair of well fitting jeans off to Ruste Protection in the EU (I am from GA/US). They line the jeans from the belt loops to about 3 inches from the end of the leg with kevlar by sewing it into the existing seams so no new weird seams like many kevlar based motorcycle jeans.
 
They then sew pockets into the hips and knees for armor. I purchased D30 for each through them and they fit well and dont look like I am wearing anything but jeans!
 
For the knee pockets you just sit on your bike in the jeans and wrap masking tape around your knee joint and they will sew the pockets there so that the armor seats nicely.
 
To note. I am not affiliated with them, but after returning multiple pairs of jeans to Revzilla, I decided to go this route and they have held up well for about 1K of riding with no issues. They pay for shipping and run about the cost of the Klim K fifty 1 jeans, which can be expensice for riding jeans, but nothing like taking a favorite pair of good fitting jeans and turning them into riding jeans with a little more protection.

I also just bought a new rear tire and new armor for my jacket as the back pocket of my AGV sport canyon jacket only came with a pad.

If you haven't depleted your dilithium crystals you should be good for launch. (sorry, had to!)  :P  I'm no Trekkie but I did grow up on that show and it can't be undone.

So what's the current rate for a gallon of petrol these days? Here it's the eqv. 7.37 USD. 
I dunno, Don't pay attention to that actually between 3.5 and 4.5 bucks i think

I can't say I bought these just for the FZ-07.  I really did because the fiancee's FZ6R badly needed a chain and sprocket change and I was sick of taking them to a shop to get chains broken and riveted just because I didn't have the tool at home to do it.  They'll both be used on the FZ-07 soon enough though.
 
Anyway, this Motion Pro PBR chain tool is really nice.  I'm pretty sure I had an easier time using this thing for the first time today than the mechanic I watched do my last chain with a tool he probably used a hundred times.  https://www.denniskirk.com/motion-pro/pbr-chain-tool-08-0470.p283349.prd/283349.sku
 
Then I bought  a chain alignment tool just because it was $12 and I needed to spend an extra $10 to get free shipping.  It's simple, works, and pretty much just confirmed that the alignment marks on the chain adjustments are true.  Not really essential but a nice little peace of mind and lets you align the chain a little finer than the adjustment markings.  https://www.denniskirk.com/motion-pro/chain-alignment-tool-08-0048.p28186.prd/28186.sku

 In Atlanta, Georgia USA, 87 octane is around 2.15, 93 is probably around 2.75-3.50/gallon depending on the station/part of the city you're in. 
 
 
 
Finally got the front tire delivered. Going to have this and the rear tire from my earlier post installed Saturday morning.

Regarding the Cyclops, is the adjusting of the beam the same as the stock bulb. As in, do you just turn the screws on the outside of the headlight?
Yes, and you will need to adjust it.  Mine needed to be adjusted up to be set correctly.
