    true ^^

    the right side airscoop was probably the best mode ive done, I still need to get another one, once you have one and then lose it, then you realize how much you need it.

    So far I've done the following:

    Breather Reroute
    Ceramic Coated Headers - SILVER(ASB)
    RideIt Grips/Shorty Levers
    Rivet Eliminator KIt (ASB)
    Knight Design Bar Ends
    Knight Design Sliders (Front&Rear)
    Matter Frame Decals
    Knight Design Shifter/Brake Levers
    SpecOps Airbox and Seat Heatshield
    Re-anodized rider/passenger heelguards

    Also need to remove my warning stickers, and turn around my license plate bracket when I get a chance. should have everything finished in a weei or two time permitting. I'll be sure to get some pics up.

    Quick question, what type Loctite do you guys suggest to use on my axle sliders? Have a tube of 242 on hand, and was wondering if that's strong enough to stand up to it, or if I should go for something stronger?

    Remove belt guards and passenger pegs? If thats your thing, it really cleans up the tail section. Bar end mirrors REALLY clean up the front end. I removed all the dumb little "Firebolt XB12R" decals, only left the "BUELL" on the airbox. Im a nut for de-badging.

    190/50 rear tire looks CHUNKY! I love it.

    Right side air scoop.

    If you like to loft the front end alot, a steering dampener is nice.

    Aftermarket rear sets? Kinda spendy, but looks like your not sparing any change on your mods.

    Just a few I see you haven't done.

    I am offended by the phrase "bland white".

    I had one and added just a few decals on the chin fairing to make it pop. Good way to add some color if you're not into outrageous graphics. Just don't put decals of upgrades you don't actually have. :-D

    Belt guards I'll probably drop when I get the bike back. Leaving the passenger pegs on just as extra support for my cortech bags.

    I may paint the passenger peg support brackets blue to add a bit more color to the rear when I have the bags off.
