I guess I fall into that category........I put on a slip on, Scorpion, for Christmas from my wife. I really wanted one as the stock can just plain sucked as far as sound and looks. I have to be able to hear atleast a little something coming from the damn thing.

I just got the bike, but the first thing I plan on doing when I get money is switching out the exhaust. This thing sounds like it's humming, and I want something that roars. After that I'll probably upgrade some of the plastic to chrome and get better grips. Probably get a more comfortable seat too.
Why did you get me thinking about this?! So much money needed.. |

Of course I wanted exhaust but the bike is loud enough.
I did frame sliders since I didn't want my baby getting too Fed up when I biffed it. They have already paid them selves off millions of times. ![]() |

Didn't like the "first thing to mod" thread zoomie started??
![]() On the SV, first was flushmounts, then fender elim, then slip on. That order because of $$ at the time. |

The first thing I do when I get a bike is rotate the clutch lever down to where I like it. With my '09 I kept a lot of the mods from my '06 that fit right up. So my first mods to my '09 R6 were levers, smoked integrator, fender eliminator and some swingarm spools. I bought a windscreen the next day and frame sliders were shortly after that. Oh yeah, a tank pad, too.

The first thing I did on my CBR was adjusted out the 1/4 inch of slack on the throttle cables. It seems that most bikes have that. The first thing I changed were the grips. The stock "waffle" grips were like holding ....waffles.

Aside from destickering my bike, I can't remember what the first mod was I done. Either a snorkelectomy or the yoshi slip on. Hell, it could have been aftermarket front blinkers. My ex did it all around the same time so I can't remember.
