These are things that work good for ME. Don't know if you'll find them to work for you.
1. Adjusted clutch lever reach - Shortened reach for quicker action. Works better for shifting speed and helps to eliminate the dreaded false neutral from 4-5 and 5-6.
2. Adjusted brake lever reach - Moved it way in. Now can easily modulate the throttle while on the brakes. Makes for better "on the gas" transitions.
3. Adjusted shifter position - Lowered slightly to get more foot under the shifter. More foot leverage for more positive shifting and better ground clearance.
4. Adjusted rear brake pedal height - raised pedal height. Makes it easier to get more rear brakes. seemed too low at stock height. Also, now better ground clearance.
5. Removed peg feelers - All they seem to be good for is scaring you when you're over too far. If you need the lean, you need it.
6. Removed peg weights - Got rid of the anti-vibration peg weights and now have LESS vibration, and saved a couple of pounds. NOTE: You will nedd to cut about 1/4" off the longer screw.
7. Removed rear side reflectors - just plain hated the way they looked.
8. Added billet valve caps - Cost a buck...why not?
9. Added Gunmetal stripe to rear hump - Color matched strip and added to rear hump. Completes the look.
10. Replaced windscreen with Double bubble - dark smoke - Works better than original from a wind buffeting standpoint. being tall, now I can actually see the turn signals. That's important. Also looks better...i think.
11. Replaced stock mufflers with Yoshimura RS-3 race cans - Motorcycles ought to be heard!!! Not to mention I have much better drivability now. much smoother power delivery. NOTE: I also had the throttle bodies synchronized as well. Helped a lot. Stainless cans, matches the bike well.
12. Added spools for service stand - Got gold to match the brakes, looks cool.
13. Removed warning / safety stickers - Guess I'm a rebel.
14. Adjusted front suspension preload, compression and rebound damping - Works much better now.
15. Adjusted rear suspension compression and rebound damping - Gotta love the difference.
16. Replaced stock seat with Suzuki Gel seat - get about an extra 20 miles before the t'aint starts hurting.
17. Changed hand lever positions - Since I'm tall, moving them down made the grab much more natural.
Will be posting a picture shortly.
