Track days and dirt riding.

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

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

I must be the oldest fart here.  The best mod I've made, or had made, by far, is having the seat reupholstered with memory foam and multi-viscous dry polymer pads.  There's nothing better than a happy ass!  :thumb:

The fix all the broken parts and make it run properly after getting wrecked and sitting for 3 years with the same gas in the tank mod. best bang for the buck around.
