Which mod would you do first?

[baller30]

Ok so im at the cross roads of my next mod, i have some extra cash i can throw at my bike and im in a dilemma. Which mod would you do, a new pressure plate, the one i have is stock. I have a rizoma open clutch cover but no aftermarket pressure plate yet. Or the rizoma clip on triple clamp kit.
And if anyone has an better options for more to do before this by all means let me know...

Seeing as you've already got the rizoma open clutch cover it would make sense to finish the job off by installing a rizoma pressure plate and s/s springs, bolts and anodised buckets. [moto]

Yeah, easily one of the better "mods".  Has the best ROI too.  [moto]

I'd do the pressure plate.

Was doing that all weekend, but its kind of tough to do right now since i live in jersey. Its been so crappy almost every week and this weekend was the first time i got out. So in the meantime i see nothing wrong with doing so mods

Just giving you shit. I spent way too much time dicking around with my m750. When I get the m620 back I'm just gonna ride the make the beast with two backsing thing.

That being said, I wish I would have saved my pennies and bought performance mods instead of aesthetic ones. I would start with minimizing rotational mass first (lighter wheels), suspension next, with braking and adding power a distant 3rd and 4th (because I didn't come close to using up either of those on the 750).

Happy modding and happy motoring.  [moto]

Suspension mods first.  Get it sprung correctly for your weight and set the sag properly.  Very few people even bother with suspension when it's without a doubt the most beneficial mod you can do.  

Gearing next.  The proper gearing does wonders for how fun a bike is to ride.  Getting is sorted for how/where you ride helps keep the bike in the sweet spot without a lot of shifting.  

Then fueling/exhaust to get the power delivery nice and smooth.  

Bling comes in last in my book.

I'd rather my bike ride nice than look nice.......

But of the mods you listed I'd do the clipons first.  They'll at least give you different riding position...something of benefit that you'll actually notice.  You can't tell the difference between a stock pressure plate and aftermarket plate while you're riding.

First mod: Fork reflectors and warning stickers
Second mod: Emissions canister (unless you live in CA)

Fixed that for you.

I'd do the pressure plate.

Me too!
Hey, look at that, there is a nice sexy red one for sale http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=35145.0

looks like a great deal!

you could always paint your stock pressure plate, and then get your clipon kit too.

depending on how old your bike is, it's never bad to go through and maybe do some preventative maintenance. when just doing mods, if you can't get them used in good condition, cosmetic stuff isn't worth it. if you want a vented clutch cover, just take the stock one off. if your bike is dry. $150+ for a cover and $175+ for a pressure plade, now that a bit silly.

like a couple of people mentioned before. suspension. your bike would look all nice and perdy sitting in the garage, but still would ride like s**t. i'm in the "bike riding like garbage boat". dives on braking, and lifts on hard acceleration.

clip-ons or rearsets would be nice too.

[mookieo2]

Suspension, good tires, clip ons

Cosmetic stuff,  lower headlight and gauges ( Its a cheap and easy mod), paint belt covers (cheap)

You`ll have a whole new bike that will actually ride a lot better.
