Default $400-$600

$400-$600 dollars. What modifications would you do? Trying to get a rough idea of how I am going to start this process (and such a painful process, cause modding never seems to stop). Going for looks, performance, handling, etc.....

Curious as to how some of you switched your sticker kit from the stock white to a red, what process was used for this, etc..... Also, is tapeworks the only company out there for the wheel tape I have seen on some bikes around here?

My 2 cents......Go with Power/Performance first.....make the ride allot more fun....then make it pretty....
--PowerCommander-III-usb(<$300),
--Slip-On(Good ones for around $300 or less).....
--AirBox Flapper Mod/Disable(1-2 hrs of elbow-grease and 2 beers)
--PAIR system removal/disable(another 1-2 hrs and 2 beers)
--correct cookie-cutter PC map(FREE)
-------------->>and when $$ becomes available....custom Dyno-Map(<$300)

the PC-III(usb) does more than give it power...it smooths out all the stock map dead-spots and surges...

Well, seeing as how the Honda dealerships lowered their price $1,710 on the 1krr, I have more to play with. Was going to look into a Sato system and the PC, Sato=easy install, PC=easy install. What does this flapped mod you speak of do? Just another airbox mod lying around? PAIR mod? Not familiar with this one. Any direct link to the original threads of these (yes I know there is a search, but I'm lazy, haha.)

consider modding the rider instead. It'll go a lot further! Full gear and track time.

I don't think you can find a good slip on for $300. Maybe used. Bike has plenty of performance stock. I would get a slip on and use the rest for flush mounts, fender eliminator, wind screen, and integrated tail light.You can get all this for around $700.

Modding the rider..... not a squid hopping on a 1000cc bike for the first time. Full gear... have that for drags and tracks. As for it going a lot further, freak accidents happen.

Is it better just getting a slip on vs. full system? Never heard that before for a bike..... Granted it has the power, as well if PCIII is installed.

I have to agree with abadfish............trackdays, full leathers and maybe take a superbike class. It'll make your experience on a bike THAT much better. The bike is already incredibly fast, invest into the rider. (improvement is a 24/7 thing with riders, it never ends.)
