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!

Progressive springs in the front end.

nawz

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

+1 on the nuclear power

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

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

realistically though, better springs in the front

-Lucas

clubmans or clip ons. anything to lower the bars.

+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).
