I have the old style canyon dancer. Had to throw it on the bike before I had a chance to cut some pvc tubing. (okay I bought the wrong size tubing

).

huh, never had an issue with my canyon dancer, and yes it's the old style.

I love all the mods I've done to the Buell.
Pazzo shorties are way more comfortable than stock levers, and better adjustment.
HID's are super bright
And the Drummer... ah the drummer... Need I say more?

Oh, and drewp, if you haven't already, ditch the inner airbox cover. If you don't have the $$ to listen to a sweet exhaust, at least you can hear your intake try to suck you off when you ride.

I added all the typical ones. No regrets on these.

However, the chick who owned it before me paid for 2 mods, (for stealth mode).

A toggle switch that would turn off all lights, and a separate toggle that would flip up the license plate for speeding through photo radar. These I likely would not have done myself.

I probably wouldn't have either but I sure do like both

FWIW and no offense BUT if you make sure to push the sleeves all the way to the controls and pull the straps parallel to the bars before you cinch your bike down, you can alleviate a great deal of the grip mashing. Most of the time when grips get wrecked, it's because people don't correctly place the sleeves.

Thanks. It wasn't me that did it.

I enjoy working on bikes and doing mods just as much as riding them.

Still have a few things I would like to do to my bike to make it even better.

HID's

USD forks which would also give me bigger calipers up which would also de-link the brake system and give better adjustments than what Honda slapped on the XX stock.
