Default What should be my next mod?

Here's my list..

1. Stage 1 tune

2. Replace handgrips and foot pegs.

3. Buckhorn Handlebars.

4. Chrome oil and battery covers.

5. B-Bar pad.

6. Seat.

7. Rake da fork.(Long term).


I'm more interested in cosmetics than performance right now. Any other ideas?

Treat yourself to a new seat.
Also,on my last bike I swapped out my stock bars for buckhorns and I regretted it. Low speed maneuverswere more difficult and it didn't handle as well in the twisties either. It also bothered my wrists because it put them ina weird position. Just something to think about.

How about a Linbar? You will have a great footrest/legrest for your long trips, and they look real cool on a Sporty.

I flop my legs overmine like a recliner, and drive my friends nuts with it.

I have to agree withOFG too. I just got my bike and I am planning on paying it off in abouta year. I have until then to do more research and get ideas of what mods to do with my bike after I am done paying for it.

Windshield, saddlebags, floorboards, and a light bar![sm=joke.gif]

I'm personally for comfort first. #1)Seat. Do you want a two up seat? Or a solo with a fender rack to carry your "goodies" while on a trip? I think that setup might look pretty cool with your bare sissy bar. #2)Grips and pegs. Maybe switchblade pegs. That way you could have a place to rest your heels while cruising for any length of time, and close 'em up when tooling around town. #3)Chrome oil and battery covers. #4)Stage 1 tune. #5)B-bar pad (unless you decide the solo seat). #6 & 7)Rake da fork! Then decide on handlebars pretty much at the same time. That way you might have a better idea of cable lengths to get. I like the buckhorns, but like outdoorgirl said, it puts your wrists in a weird position. Maybe mini apes? Plenty of other after market options out there.

OFG had the best idea of all, though. Pay off the bike and get clear title. Then you'd have all kinds of money to splurge on your ride.
