Modifications

Engine:

· Nichols lightened flywheel.		Makes the engine pick up revs much quicker.

· Zeke lightened clutch and carbon fibre clutch cover.		Like the flywheel, this mod helps the engine pick up revs. It's a lot more quiet than the stock clutch too.

· Ferracci 11:1 high comp pistons.

· 44 mm inlet valves.

· DP carbon fibre cam belt covers.		Looks nice together with the other carbon fibre bits.

· Open air box with performance air filter.		Helps the engine breathe and makes a lovely noise.

· BOS open exhaust slip-ons.		Play that funky music... LOOOOUUUUD!!!

· High performance spark plugs and wires.		Didn't notice any big improvements but the yellow cables sure look nice.

Brakes:

· ISR fully floating brake disks.		Increased braking performance..

· SBS Dual Carbon brake pads.		Works really nice with the ISR brake discs.

Transmission:

· z=43 rear sprocket.		Now the engine revs a little more freely.

Chassis:

· Race Tech front fork valves and springs.		Really improved the front end. The front forks now feel firm instead of stiff and that "lock up" feeling is gone.

· Front forks raised by 4 mm.		Combined with the rear increase in ride height this mod really improves the feel of the bike. A must do for every SS.

· Öhlins shock, ride height increased by 4 mm.		A real improvement. I could have gone for a softer spring for the stock shock but I wanted the ride height adjustment.

Bodywork:

· Fibre glass full fairing.		The bike came with a special half fairing but I wanted a full fairing.

· Fibre glass seat cover.		If you want the single seated look and still want to be able to carry a pillion this is the way to go.

· Carbon fibre air deflectors.		When I added the full fairing I thought I might as well go for the carbon fibre version of the air deflectors.

· Carbon fibre front fender.		The carbon fibre front fender and hugger were already on the bike when I bought it so I wasn't complaining. Looks really nice in the sunlight.

· Carbon fibre hugger.		Looks a lot better than stock. I cut mine down a bit to improve looks even further.

· Projection head lights.		Actually these give better lighting than stock. They also improve the looks of the bike, at least that's what I think.

· Mercedes Vito front turn lights.		Makes the front view of the bike a little bit slimmer.

· Custom built rear turn signals.		This mod really improved the look of the back end.

· Relocated licence plate and licence plate illuminator.		This is one way of getting rid of that big, ugly, stock licence plate hanger.

· All visible plastic and rubber wires relocated to the inside of the frame.		This cleans up the frame and looks really nice I think.

· Rims powder coated.		Gives the bike a little "racier" look.

· Custom built exhaust/passenger foot rest hangers.		Since I do a fair amount of two up riding and wanted a high level exhaust I had to make new exhaust/passenger foot rest hangers. I'm pretty pleased with the result.
