SilverBird Posted April 1, 2003 Share Posted April 1, 2003 welcome! if you aren't into a new pipe and a power commander for more power... :shock: or a smaller front sprocket for more torque imho, i think the stock seat stinks, get an aftermarket Corbin and maybe a smuggler, which will allow you to conveniently store yoru gloves and small items on short trips. if you are going to tour, i suggest an aftermarket screen, mine's a ZeroGravity ST, but others on the listt will have suggestions as well.

SwampNut Posted April 1, 2003 Share Posted April 1, 2003 Ask your dealer to give you a good trade on the stock (fucking crap) tires before you even take it out. See the tire threads around here for other options. Personally I'm very sold on the Avon AV45/AV46-ST. Lots of grip, great handling, long life. The stock tires are just horrible. Second item on my list would be the fork springs, unless you weigh around 130 pounds. Third would be Race Tech fork valve kits (both kits). BTW, have I mentioned that the stock tires SUCK?! And did you just imply that this is your first motorcycle??? :shock: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverBird Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 swampy's got a good point. if they truly are going to pull it out of the crate next week there's a lot of things you could change BEFORE they build the bike up at a significantly lower cost than doing it later on, having it be a change out instead.... like heavier fork oil.. ... or better springs... ... or better tires... or a different rear shock... ooh, let me think some more ;o) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
