Agree 100%. I haven't gotten to the big power yet (120R) but working my way there. For the mean time, I would have to say exhaust (headers and pipes). I personally could not stand the "Jettsons" bubble sound of a stock system, everytime the throttle twists and I hear the growl and ease off it sounds like a jake brake....thats nirvana!!

The rider back rest has to be the best mod for comfort and the garage door opener is the best mod to make life easier.

This turned out to be a great thread. I like hearing all of the different views from you guys. Very cool. I had forgotten about the garage door opener. I guess I've had it so long, I've been taking it for granted. But a very nice feature to have. Not sure if we can call it a bike mod,but hey, why not? Thanks all, this has been some good reading for me. I like it. Keep them coming if you haven't already chimed in!

From a style perspective it has to be my Dakota Digital guages...


From a comfort perspective, it's my Kury Cruise boards which are super comfortable on the long trips...

Also anything to improve storage/organizing, especially the box up on the dash.

No 120R, but I put a Fuel Moto PC-V on my bike and smiled. Then when I added the Auto Tune my smile grew great big. The seat of the pants dyno tells me I got my moneys worth from this mod :-) I smile every time I twist the throttle.
