So, other than motovation frame sliders, my bike is all stock. I haven't even yanked the warning labels off of it yet. (I'm too afraid to mess it up!)

I've never modded a vehicle before, much less a motorcycle. I don't know where to begin with most of these things which is kinda sad since I'm in school to becoming an electronics technician.

Other than the dual headlight mod. I'm pretty satisfied with the rest of the bike being all stock. Am I crazy or is that just me not knowing better...?

You can say that your satisfied now,but you won't stop at one mod !..................trust me on this ,lol

Hang around here long enough, and you will change your mind! I remember being perfectly happy with my stock bike when i first got it...then started thinking, if it's this good stock, how much better can i make it!

It's a disease.........."modding". It's like that chip commercial, "you can't just have one". And since you started with one already, others mods will creep in soon.......bwuhahahhaha (evil laughter).

+1000 I bought my bike with a load of mods already done and I still can't help myself. I'd recommend making very good friends with your bank manager before you start.

I can work on weekends........... I need more money for mods.

KensFz6 · 08-19-2008, 05:04 AM

Thanks all for the replies.

I figured that the feeling would change with time. I'm just a bit worried about where to start

I'll definitely start looking into it some more via search.

im the same way. i love modding but i dont want to end up regretting or messing anything up. like right now im contemplating the dual headlight mod. takes a really long time to do tho. i guess the real question is what's actually available to do right (for our 08's). like a list then decide from there.

Get a PCIII and a dyno tune...more horses, better throttle response, less snatchiness, etc, etc. Costs a few dollars, but once you have done it, you will know why straight away. Transforms the bike.
