Best thing to do is find out what you want. You're the one riding it, after all. But most people look at changing their grips/handlebars/pegs first. Then I guess it would be seat, possibly mirrors, option of lifting the tank, moving the speedo, moving the signals. Pretty much whatever you want.

This for sure. I was really happy with the result when I did it. Damn, reminds me how outdated my current picture is.

Max rear tire size is what you got now. Any bigger and it will hit the belt. I swear by EBAY and my garage. Buy some tools.

Welcome and don`t forget to ride safe.

I have been buying from one of the sponsors here - Denis Kirk and have gotten competitive pricing and good customer service - on your first purchase they will send you a telephone book sized catalogue with every part you could ever want.
