What's that one mod to your bike you love?

What's that one mod to your bike you love and were very pleased doing!

It can range from flush signals to turbocharging..

Try to post an estimate on price too for the mod so we can see cheaper and more expensive well-liked mods!


Hey I'm bored, maybe this thread will work?

Seat. Local guy repadded it and topped it with a tacky material, great for two up and a little distance. As long as my ass is happy, the rest of me is happy.

Front suspension. total cost: $250 + trade.

I only have 2 mods at the moment. A new Shoei X-11 and heavier bar ends. The bar ends were great for my longer rides. My hands don't fall asleep now when I am at  constant speed. The helmet was a neccessity as now my helmet isn't buffeted all over the place when on my rides and it is light.
 
Suspension set up is also a biggy for me as I needed it set up to handle bumpy roads well and now it does.
 
On order I have a sargent seat, Zero Gravity sport touring wind screen, and Helibars for my everyday riding comfort. I am still saving for Cycle Cat rearsets so I can lower the foot pegs positions, then some mirror wideners so I don't keep looking at my elbows (From TwistedThrottle.com), and then all I need is some soft luggage and I have got the bike I have always wanted.

HID headlights-- 106.00 ..Beats any other mod ive done esp since i ride at night some.
 
 

F4i gauge conversion- about $275
F4i fairing conversion with new paint and graphics - $2000

I had Helibars installed on my 07 thou which has made long distance riding much more bearable. I've no intention of modifying the exhaust or engine for additional power. I can kill myself just fine with the bikes existing hp.

Painted wheels. Biggest change in look of all the mods i have done. Cost = case of beer.

01-03 F4i tail swap on my 00 F4 (just under $700). Just need it painted now. Next a set of Pilot Roads 2, and revalving the forks.

so far i have : taylormade slip on     $ 630
                         flapper mod                  can of beer
                         BMC air filter               $110
                         +3 rear sprocket          $75
 
the best and the cheapest mod ever is +3 rear sprocket im very happy with it (money wise and power wise ) its unbeatable..

I think mine would have to be the '01-03 split seat tail swap.  It was about $700 but well worth it

But a close 2nd would be:  HID headlights for my blind ass... $376 (lol), +3 rear sprocket (though now it's stock rear and -1 in front cuz that's all they had in stock... same ratio though)... $215 inc chain, and the Hindle titanium high mount.... $FREE!.  Those are 3 of my favorites.... right up there with the tail swap.  But I think the tail is still my favorite

Probably my pinstriping. I think it really brought my bike to life.

+1 on the Pinstriping on the White '07
I'm Isolated's copycat :)

Now I'm working on a "modified" Bikelitez FE (version1)

Coming soon....

Although i love the color scheme im headed towards with my bike i would
say the BEST mod was my Steering Damper 

copious amounts of carbon fiber

Bootleg's shorty LE exhaust.  Great price, very nice sound, and makes the bike look lighter in the tail area and several years newer, imo.

Other than that, getting rid of stock junk that clutters up the bike (replacing signals with flushies, fender elim, etc) is definately a must.  Other stuff is cool too, but this is the basic stuff that almost HAS to be done for you bike to look decent.

Quick pics of the exhaust:

I love my D&D!   ask anybody who can still hear you how bad ass it sounds 

gotta love HID its a whole new meaning of "headlight" and dont even let me start with the tail swap 1k RR to 929 it looks awesome.

I would have to say my Jardine RT-One. Love the deep sound it makes down low and the screaming it does at the upper rpms.  Plus the dual outlet carbon fiber looks sexy!

Best mod I have made to my bike... took mirrors off, use bar-end mirror..no
                                                       fender eliminator from comp works...no
                                                       LeoVance slip-on.............................no
                                                       Suspension mods for my weight........no
            Getting and staying in shape so I can ride harder for much, much longer...that is my best mod yet.

Since most of teh mod were on my bike when I got it I would have to say the Vortex sprocket and chain kit  -1 in the front and light weight.  The manual CCT was not a bad one eaither.

braided brake lines $85 front   about $26 for the rear
Galfer HH pads $48 for the pair (on clearance)
Galfer GG pads $28 for the rear
motul 5.1 $8
 
$200   definatly worth it

single side swingarm and f2/r6 upper

Hands down, Suspension & slipper clutch.

My best mod was losing those safety circlips that keep the clip-ons from riding up the forks, then flattening out the angle of the bars.  Now I don't feel like I'm riding a girl's bicycle.  Another plus of the wider, flatter clip-on angle is the ability to do a bit of flat-track style drifts.
