Finely got the bike done after a winter tear down and rebuild. Put about $8000.00 of add-ons on it over the last year or so. I am really pleased with all of my perchases. I started with what every person starts with exshaust and usb power commander IIIr. I gained about 11 horespower from 149 to 160 horsepower with my full akrapovic titanium evolution exshaust. I live in bozeman mt so i get the luxery of riding with all the engineers from dyno jet. Thier main research lab is in belgrade mt 6 miles away. Alot of my friends parents work at dyno jet. Anyways i got them to throw it on the dyno and custome map it. After that i put a set of marvic rims on it. I highly recamend it, it is the biggest noticed difference out of the things i purchased and installed. And spend the extra 600.00 dollars or so for the machined ones it looks much better and if you ever paint them it turns out much better. After that i bought a bunch of stuff for this winter rebuild. Blue anodized vortex racing bars, Lockhart phillips grips, Xt track timer, Smoke black double bouble windscreen, brembo master cylinder and remote lever ajuster( which i ran through my left handle bar), CRV adjustable clutch lever, Anodized blue gas cap, Black Arata rearset, Swing arm adjuster and stand lifter kit(well worth the money), vortex front sprocket 1 tooth lower (the bike finley will revs up all the way now), Dan Kyle HRC Racing Ecu( huge noticeable differance) Real snappy revs, Penske rear shock with remote adjuster and resvoir, frame sliders, I used permuable hose and made new brake resavoir and wiegh next to nothing, and bmc air filters, still waiting to get on the dyno and check new horse power readings.
For cosmetics i bought upper and lower race body work from hotbodies and i liked thier work a lot. A telefonica decal kit from from all out graphics which rocked. I paint my self yellow strips on out side of rims and The bike blue. I powered coated all tail screens and two upper screens yellow and case covers yellow and the swing arm black. I would recamend painting the swing arm instead of powder coating it because you wouldn't have to buy all new bearings for it which is over $200.00. You have to remove bearings because of the baking prossecc of powder coating. I cleared over my stickers as well its a good way to make it last longer and not peal off.
Feel free to email me with any questions about any of my add-ons or anything elses.

First welcome to the forum.
Do you mean the Marvic rims made the biggest difference you've seen or did you mean the PCIII and exhaust? If you mean the rims please explain how. Also what did you do other then add parts during your winter tear down? Did you tear it down for a detail cleaning? I've heard of people doing that. What does the Arata swing arm adjuster do?
I will be the first to say it.  Well maybe not worthless.
Thanks

The magnesium rims made the biggest noticable differance because of the weight differance and gyro differance. when you transistion from a hard right to a hard left it flicks alot quicker really notiable, and less mass on the rims supposable revs up the motor quicker but i didnt notice that to much. I forgot who made the chain ajuster and rear set kit but its not arata it makes chain adjusting alot easyer and quicker i take a pic of them and show ya and then the swing arm stand clicks in to this piece as well. wait till you see the pic, thier slick. This winter i painted and had all the pieces powdered coated as well. as well as detail every thing
