Should've said: "Real men are not afraid of dirty jobs, and yeah, dirt gets under the nails. Wanna help me next time?"
Speaking of mods, I am more for functional mods: Vesrah pads, steel braided lines (had them on the flooded bike and want to upgrade when I can), butt pad so I don't slide from freaking a-cce-le-ration! Hump storage mod, alarm, headlight switch, tail light switch, dealer mode switch, V-meter, TPMS, air horn, dubble-bubble or another brand windscreen, aftermarket levers, and last but not least - foot anchors, LOL. Won't ride without them. Radar detector (pocket version) - is that a mod? Oh, wait a second - I forgot 800 lb gorilla... the turbo... gotta tell you - very functional, and completely unnoticeable. Throttle lock - some people use it for cruising, but I find myself mostly goofing around with it. Remember the famous scene in the movie 'Titanic' when Rose spread her arms like wings standing at the nose of the ship. So, I would lock the throttle doing a good clip, and ride like that for a few seconds to half a minute.
