Track days and dirt riding.

Nothing provides more performance imrpovement than tightening the nut at the controls.

.90 sonic springs and moving the rearsets back 2"

About $400 worth of gas over the last year or so....

I also got a headlight modulator, that was a good mod. I also really like the bar end mirrors I put on...

prolly leathers. keeps the loose nut at the controls so much more comfortable (and safer) than jeans and work boots.

next mod ? kat FE, rear shock. i don't want wide tires, best i can tell. love hte way the gs slips into turns with a little trail brake :D
