Only modification so far is derestricting it. Im planning a few mods but they are only really going to be for the looks of the bike, like renthal bars. Dont want to spend too much on modifying this bike as will be selling it at the end of this year.

The one where I said your bike is a sportbike, just no fairing and tuned a bit more for torque than the Daytona, with which it shares just about everything.

id whole heartedly agree with your dislikes. Tacky as hell.

add to that colour tinted light covers and windscreens. particularly gaudy purple or yellow ones.

mods I do think are worth doing:

Akrapovic or Yosh pipes - if nothing else just to marvel at the engineering and finish. Not so convinced by just bunging on cheapy after market race cans just for the noise mind.

adjustable rearsets - tailor the ergonomics of your bike exactly to suit you, and get better engineered and finished components whilst your about it. gilles rearsets are things of great beauty and once youve used a set the unadjustable stock pegs just arent good enough.

Braided brake lines - race pads. For the sole reason that anything that improves braking is a good thing.
