The way I look at it, is Im there to get better, and by watching the bad habits of all my friends isnt going to help me do that (I have enough of my own bad habits), I like to follow the control riders and pick up things from them. ---

Tank pad, Steering damper, Steel braided lines, and if you want to go quicker gearing, then pipe and pc if you want it to be louder and a bit quicker. in that order. Do the airfilter when you need to replace the stock one. and do cosmetic stuff too when you feel the need, ie, levers, windscreen, etc etc. ---

THEY’RE\* Buy a sprocket and chain (520 conversion I think is the norm) I like going -1,+2, it makes it accelerate faster. and makes the front end lift a bit easier, it takes away top end, most likely 10-15 mph off top end, but who needs to go 165 mph ? its stupid ---

go black or silver, they eliminate the numb feeling you had with stock brakes… paired up with ebc HH pads, you stop on a dime. its ridic, just make sure your tires are warm.
