I really like the stock look of the bike and don't plan on modding it too much yet. Frame sliders, fender eliminator, and tinted windscreen are first priorities. |
I've had mine for a little over a year now, and that's about all the mods I've done. R&G frame sliders, fork sliders and swingarm spools, tinted DB windscreen, Progrip 724's, rim stripes, steel valve stems and new tires...that's it. The bike really doesn't
need much else. I'm just now getting around to seriously looking at exhaust cans, but I'm in no hurry. The only other things I'm considering are a rear tire hugger and the solo seat cowl. I could care less about all the performance mods out there. This bike will get you killed in a hurry if you're not careful, and I have no aspirations to take it to the track (that's what the 600 is for). 9100 miles so far, and I'm still smiling and learning to tame this beast.
