For riding pleasure I would say that my best mod is the Windshield.

It's all about comfort so I'll say handle bars, seat, and moving my floorboards forward a few inches are absolute must haves.

My wheels and tires. I love the 103 but my wheels change everything about the bike. I know the 09's are great bikes but I can't see me trading this one for a while.
