Rearsets, open airbox or pods, billet suspension hoop, lighter wheels.

powder coated rearsets work pretty well, and the airbox is open already. lighter wheels would be cool, but I'd get the same advantage if I lay off the  [bacon] [bacon] [bacon]

Put some reflectors on the forks.

EXACTLY!!!  I have been telling that to people for years.

but seriously i would put them back on.

also don't worry about the bike, if you are happy with it, just ride the thing and enjoy it as much as you can. 

I think there does come a time that you feel that most of the "bling" stuff you want on a bike is done and anything else is just sort of diminishing returns on money spent, and at that point its time to enjoy the fruits of your labor which is riding a bike that you truly enjoy riding and it looks EXACTLY the way you want it.  What more can you ask for when riding a motorcycle?

   Looks like you've done just about everything bolt on.  ;)  I think you need a different bike to get your mod juices flowing again.  [drool]

I love this place.  ;D


baffles are in because I just got this set and haven't cut the rivet yet. Also, as you can tell by the garage, it's condo living. I'm usually a nice neighbor.

Right now I am SO glad I closed the door to the garage before snapping pictures. I can only imagine the comments. ha.

I couldn't help but notice the OEM cluster. Might I suggest a nice Motogadget or Trail Tech? Much smaller, more features, and damn near plug n play.

Honest.

After 10 years of ownership of the Desmo pregnant dog, I thought I was done.  She let me know what she thought of that notion by blowing her engine.  Just be warned of what can happen if you think your done.

I say leave well enough alone!  Your bike looks great - if ever you get the bug just think "how many tires can I get instead of buying X?"

That usually makes me realize that what I should be doing is riding more and modding less.

Hmm.. I'm out of money and need tires. This advice would have been helpful a few months ago.
Is this thing on?
