+1 on both of those. other than that, gear is good, and so is a tank protecter pad. If you are wanting more power and bigger upgrades. Slip-on exhaust, Power commander, etc. Those are good places to start.

I have a 2006 CBR 600 RR on its way and I would like to hear some suggestions on the first few mods I should do. What and why would be greatly appreciated.

Mat is this your first bike?
Just asking if it is I'd put a puig double bubble race screen ease some helmet shake and a dampner depending on much money you have to play w/ to help incase of a slap. Scotts is probably the best but you could throw a hyperpro on there if your strapped. Like drumpro80 said gear is good!

Don't spend any money on mods until you have a full set of real deal riding gear. Get a good helmet, boots, gloves, a solid jacket, and maybe even some hard core riding pants. Once you've got this squared away, then look at some mods.

i would start with a power commander. and find a good performance shop and have them set your suspension for your weight and riding style.

RE: Need help with mods
no one answered the why part....
The owner’s manual is a great start. The flush mounts and fender elimination will save the plastic when you drop it. It's a great look and also saves money. Frame sliders are GREAT!!! Saved me twice so far. Hold off on the performance mods until you learn the bike. That way you know what you did. If you dump a ton of money and time into performance mods at the beginning, you never really know how much you improve the bike.

hes rite, plus the frame sliders will deff help the bike if you drop it, and its a great feeling from going from a stock bike and feeling the extra power of putting one part on at a time. make sure you buy a good helmet and jacket first tho.

I went with fender eliminator and flush front blinkers. Then did the exhaust and other cosmetic stuff. I read my manual front to back the first day I got my bike. It was worth the time.
