* The stock seat exchange to gel, a small riser, and with a new sheepskin pad now!

* The saddlebags. Although not what I ultimately want, they are used daily, so I am good for now. BTW - I have stuck my ballet tutu in the saddlebag, so my next set has to be able to fit that too!

* The elkhide hand grips - warmer than the stock in winter, cool in summer, and just enough bigger in diameter to be more comfortable. Hmmm...Sluggo, dont say a word about this text!! Shocked

The ability to keep tinkering even on a limited budget and time schedule (work sure does get in the way of my MC time!!)

I've gotta admit, I'm not much for mods to the bike, but I did mount a garage door opener to the handle bars. Does that count? Grin

And I got some aftermarket foot pegs. They were for a harley, but I took them to my brother's machine shop and drilled out the male mounts to fit a metric. For $20 they fit way better than the $200 Kuryakyns that were on it when I bought it.

Reply #25 - 06/01/08 at 19:40:09 I think the next mod I will do will be to slot the oil drain plug so I can drizzle oil out easily when I overfill. My measuring cup, which is a plastic mixing funnel, is OFF. I did a pint, 4 times & it was over by several ounces. OHH, yea, I like the rear brake mod, Big Time. I can romp on it pretty good before it locks.

Reply #27 - 06/01/08 at 20:10:29 Used an angle grinder & cut 4 slots across each shoe, & tapered the leading edge, eliminating near 1/2 of the shoe/drum contact area. I also adjusted the pedal so it was a bit of a push before it would grab all the way, so the first "Thought" about slowing down doesnt make the rear tire slide.

I hadn't heard about that one, but so far I haven't had any trouble with the brakes. Other than the hideous screech from the front one. It works better than the horn for gettng attention.
