Home jobs for the most part

You might be able to go +2 on the rear sprocket before needing a longer chain

Some company with 'Air' in the name might make blank plastics for the bike, but are almost the same in price.

The only fender eliminator kits were for the 87/88 models, and they won't fit the wider tyre on the 89 onward.
You can go as mad as 14/46 but I wouldn't recommend it. 15/42 and it's a wheelie machine.
Malbojah is right(as always) best option is 17/44.Good for the wallet, too !
Plastics - e-Bay

The air company is http://www.airtech-streamlining.com , but they only list body work for the 1st generation hurricanes. As far as the undertail, Jonathan, I previously sent you a pic of my 95 with a homemade (I think) undertail, which consists of a metal plate with a bracket for the license plate and two turn signals mounted to it. I've seen some universal fender eliminators listed on ebay that you might be able to modify to serve your purposes.

I used one of the fender eliminator kits on ebay. A generic one should work. I sawed off the stock fender and drilled 2 holes and mounted the kit w/ stainless bolts and nylock nuts. I used a cheap LED to light up the license plate and some mini turn signals I had sitting around.

Congrats on the purchase. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
Yeah, I would just keep an eye out on ebay and look around online for body/tail pieces. I liked that tail someone fitted from an F4, was it. That looked good.

I replaced my rear sprocket with a vortex +2. It's holding up well, and it did make a noticable difference. I don't think I'd go further than that, though. I also put on an RK race chain. I snapped the stock one. Good scare.
