Well, outside of the Air Filter, the engine and exhaust are pretty much bone stock. There is, of course, the mandatory Verslavy, which is awesome (
To All: buy one from Verslagen1 if you haven't already. The stop pin alone is worth the price of admission). Not much in the way of performance enhancements, but I dig the ride. The Friscos feel
right to me; perfect height, perfect width, confortable as all get out. The seat ain't too shabby either, and was comfortable on my inaugural ride home from my friends shop, when I took the long way home. Trip ran about an hour through some pretty senic farm country. No real twisty bits to speak of, but I did open her up and try getting a feel for her cornering and braking abilities on those long lonely roads. Had a blast!
Over the past couple days, I've noticed that she gets a lot of looks from other riders, and not one has been a sneer so far. That makes a guy smile a bit.
