dont know what you already have engine wise. So ill just suggest some cosmetic items. either powder coat the swingarm black or chrome the frame and swing arm. get rid of the front reflectors. Me Id powder coat the swing arm-its cheaper and it will make you existing chrome standout more

Deff powdercoat the swingarm black.
+1 on the front reflectors.
Chrome sticker kit and paint the lower fairing to match.
Also chrome foot pegs will be a nice touch.
Hid headlights.
Black rotors.
Get rid of the heatshield by your foot.
Tire Hugger(not hotbodies, fitment sux big time!).
Frame plugs.

So much stuff can be done. You just have to picture what you want your bike to look like and stick with it.

I just posted a pic of my bike after doing some stuff to it. Check it out in the 1000rr mod section for ideas.

Can you tell me how you mounted the license plate?

A friend of mine has the Ohlins rear shock - he tried installing the Comp Werkes FE and the shock reservoir is in conflict with the plate, so he needs to mount the plate a little higher up, just like yours.

Please advise.

Thanks!

Buy an "L" bracket from a hardware store, take out the battery, drill a hole in the middle of the plate, then screw it into the "L" bracket along with a screw through the battery box to have it screwed to the bike, bolts easy, then one LED light (another small hole, push it through), run wires straight to battery, LED wont kill battery, and you have it............ 15 minutes, and $2 max!!!
