Do you remember your first?

Now see the really sad thing is there are so many members on this forum nowadays who don't know Melvin.

Surely recent postings are enough to awaken he who walks with the (bling) Gods?

All very interesting and not what was expecting. Which I great. I'm learning alot here. I suppose my upgrades mods cover alot of what u have all said.

Only early days but I think I have followed some of the common obvious mods.

1. Day 1. Full termi cf pipes. To improve power around the dip at 4500rpm. The louder sound was more of a poser addition but the safety of being heard evens out the ego.

2. 250km. Bar end mirrors. These were purchased cause I hated the bug eyed attennaes. Turns out the convexed mirror give better vision too. Win win.

3. 400km. Comp werkes eliminator. For obvious reasons.

Oh and with my nice little win on the storm tonight the next thing may be comming a little sooner. Yeeehaaa!!!

4. At 1st service in about 2 weeks. 14T front sprocket. Performance reasons purely. I do alot of city slow riding so this should help with the low end power.

Next. Hmmmm who knows. Perhaps the combined led brake/indicator.

So I suppose most of my mods are for performance and or safety. Well that's my protest and I'm sticking to it. See step 2 in rehab manual.

1st M800, it was really only pipes - the "lucky remus" low mount pipes that I bought on fleabay for a reasonable about of money (about $400 and they were new! try doing that now). This was coupled with the spousal bling education program to attempt to justify why I need to spend more money on a perfectly good bike. Yeah, it's all about the safety - loud pipes saves lives...

I think there was a 14T on that bike as well as some rizoma grips, but that's about it....

Current M800 came with most of its bling - ohlins rear, sargent, cyclecat rearsets... ive added a few things, sbk fender, LED rear light etc..... like matty said, I've now got his mivvs on it (replaced the Ti arrows) and I've got a Power Commander to put on it, but nothing really else - the only thin now is to eventually get the tank ding removed (which will clearly require a complete new paint job!), book it in for a Dyno tune, and sort out the soft front end / set up the complete suspension.... That is, unless I find the clipons and master cylinders I've been looking for.......

1st:
CF Termis, DP ECU & Open airbox

Fav:
CF side panels (yes boring) but I put the oem "Monster 695 & italian flag" decals on (in the same positions as the old panels) and had a few coats of clear slapped on. The decals look like they are slightly floating above the CF layer.

Last:
Rego tube, just in time for the concourse.

Next:
Another boring but much needed 14t front (ordered). A gold DID or EK chain (still pondering) might be on the cards at the same time.

Future:
CF belt cover & Oil cooler kit


Then have a baby  , then kiss future mods goodbye  .

as dumb as it sounds, I can't even remember my first mod. The earliest I do remember is putting clip-ons on a stock 600M.
