Hey guys....I just got my 05 600 about a week ago and was wondering what would be some good first mods for the bike....Any suggestions would be helpful

 

Congrats, dude!! Wise choice -- you will enjoy your bike.

So down to the nitty gritty -- what's your budget for mods? Not trying to be nosy but there are front flush mounts that run from $14 from LP to over $100 from Gregs. Rearsets, slip-ons, fender eliminator and a whole lot more. Seems the CBR's wallow in aftermarket heaven.

 

depending on how well you ride, how about modding the rider first? get familiar with the bike, then you'll know what your bike needs. come talk to me afterwards.

 

Hey chainstretcher, thanks for the info. Dont really have a budget though, soo throw anything at me!! Before i bought this bike i told myself that i wouldnt mod it for awhile and I would just keep modding my Lightning..But I cant help it..lol the truck will have to go on hold..

 

Hmmmm, Lightning Mods = Chip + Small Pulley = WooooooHoooooo!

L8X has a point about 'modding the rider'. I've found that most noobie squids can't resist pointing out that they can handle any bike thrown at them and since you didn't come off like that I just figured you've been around the track a couple-o-times[8D]

As far as mods go you got 'go faster' mods and 'make it purty' mods. Fasterness mods include such things as slip-on $400+, power commander $300+, K&N air filter $80+, rear sets $350+, 520 chain and sprocket conversion $250+. Beautification mods might include integrated taillight $100+, flush mount front blinks $14 - $150, HID headlights $250-$450, fender eliminator $40-$200, cool seat cover things that L8X sells $(don't know ya gotta ask him).

Of course if you search really well you can find stuff cheaper than I listed -- the ##'s I threw out are just what I've seen lately for quality stuff. If you find something significantly cheaper then there may be a reason (read: piece of $hit) so be careful. There's a few guys on here who won't steer you wrong: L8X, Limpy@Apex, and Superbike supply.

 

Thanks for the info. man! I appreciate it!

Yes, I want the best of both worlds, STUNT, and Race... What Can I say?

My bike is stock as hell looking, but I ran a 11.5 at the track ALL STOCK. So I think I could do a drastic improvement with a lil goodies eh?

 

-2 and +3 is gonna be killing your top end -- make sure all your races are short[8D]

 

It should kill top end cause I want it too.... I want gearing to pull up in third...

Thats why i ordered a 525 chain for my stock sprockets, and the 520 for stuntin/whatever.... I know, everyone said that I have the chains backwards for race and durability. But O well, its done now lol.

 

Nice choices ONEWheelin. I'm gonna have ta hump L8X's leg on dis 1 too. Mod da rider! yer gonna feel pretty $hitty put a grip o cash in yer bike then layin it down or dropin it in yer driveway or sum $hit. Get good den pimp yer ride!
