I just now remembered....the first thing I did was put frame sliders on mine.
I keep forgetting they're there. Doh!

My Buell already had an exhaust. First thing I did was put frame sliders on it.

Put some decent handlebars on it. Grip heaters at the same time. The stock bars were too "sit up and beg." Passenger grab bars- mainly to add tie down points.
The rest is mostly practical maintenance type upgrades. Removed the fork reflectors for easier stand/caliper access. Stickier tires, better brake pads. At some point, I'll put on stainless lines and suspension upgrades. No blingy pretty nonsense for me. (The lines will be black or smoked with plain ends- purely functional)

I haven't done anything yet. I can't justify it when I need other things worse.
I would put on a steering damper. I think it would help the handling of the bike on the track. I would also put on a different exhaust to make it louder. Anything to make myself more noticeable on the street. |

New seat! I bought it from a dealership a hundred miles out of town, and the first thing I did after riding it home was go inside, stand in front of the computer, and start researching seat options.

My first mod on EVERY sportbike I've owned (8 I think) has been to dremel or take the ugly azz SS Enterprise rear fenders off !!!! I've always hated stock rear fenders.
The next mod was flushmounts. |
