Thumbs up My Mod wish-list......

Ok, so here's the canvas.....



Now what shall I do to her?


My initial list (in no particular order):

- Dark Smoke wind screen
- Frame Sliders
- Replace swingarm spools (black)
- Pazzo Shorty Levers (black with black adjuster, or black with gold adjuster)
- Cowl for rear seat
- Remove passenger pegs
- Carbon fiber triple tree cover
- Replace stock exhaust with Ceramic coated (with gutted Y pipe and race baffles)
- Stomp grips (sides of tank)

Any other suggestions?

Stainless braided lines. And I'd leave the red spools.

Flush mount turn signals
BMC air filter
Ditch the reflectors


Oh and the Pazzo's would look better in black on black.

Ok since I'm coming from a bike that wasn't mod-worthy, what's the advantage of the SS braided lines? (Chris wants to put slightly bigger spools on it for more protection, but I'm not adverse to the red if we can find em)

Yeah flushies are on the list, I forgot.

*hmm* BMC... (Making notes)
Reflectors are already gone since that pic was taken yesterday.

Less brake fade and better lever feel are the advantages to SS lines.

Your stock brake lines are made out of rubber and when you apply pressure to the front brakes in order to stop, the rubber flexes. The steel braiding around the rubber brake lines prevents much of the flexing, thus allowing more "power" to the brake calipers and better feedback.

Why stomp grips? For looks or protection?

If you want the looks, fine.

If you just want to protect the tank, check out the Tankslapper product. It is a clear vinyl that will protect the paint but is almost undetectable.

Stomp grips are overkill for street riding, imo.

The rest of the list looks good!

Black rearsets or powdercoat the stock ones. Having those the only thing not black or red would look weird.
