Title: ONE mod.
Post by: joebothehobo on May 10, 2008, 09:39:49 PM
You are given a bone stock 500E, but only allowed to do ONE modification. What would it be? Buying a different brand/type of disposable, such as tire, oil, or filter doesn't count, but everything else does.

Оh noes, so many choices!

my first preference would be for the rider

1) a quieter helmet
2) nice leathers
3) nicer boots

but since you didn't mention rider stuffs

1) EFI - electronic fuel injection
2) Suspension
3) Unlimited nuclear power that didn't roast the jewels so I never have to stop riding

if you're really picky, just don't notice 2 and 3. :)

Front end swop ., The GSX Katana makes such a different , so what a bout a Ducati 1098 Front end swop with ohlins shocks , and Brembo 6 pots ..Thats one mod

Of topic i no , but one of my mums boyfriends had a 7/11 GSXR  which is the 750 frame with the 1100 engine in it , and he had set of custom billet yokes , and had a Ducati 999 Front end , and it was damn sweet

Front sprocket of your choice! The biggest thing that will effect the performance of the stock model E. :2guns:

i would have to say fuel injection...it'd really be nice

realistically though, better springs in the front

+1 to progressive springs.

I have done a few things to my gs (K&N, Jetted, Kat 600 shock out back, 1 tooth down in the front) but the thing that made the biggest difference was the progressive springs upfront.  (especially considering I had maybe 1/3rd of the oil left in the forks when I finally had em rebuilt)

Suspension (straight-rate prefered).
