hows your protective gear. you need a jacket, pants, boots, gloves, and of course a brain bucket. Thats your first $1000.00

 

plus one fo sho, take it to a good motorcycle tuning shop and get that suspension dialed in. Then run a few track days

 

Krash has a good point about the gear. I say you start there. Afterward you may process with buying the DnD, earplugs and a Glock.
Keep in mind. Think first, re-act later, panic last.

 

You got the proper gear? If not, gear first, then mods. The dude that said it is about riding and not the bling factor is right, IMO. Its all about you and the bike, not the bikes looks and impressing anyone else.

 

Invest your money in a Motorcycle Safety Riding Course.

 

dude frame sliders are worth a billion dollars more than they cost. they saved my fairings 7 times, 3 on the left side and 4 on the right side. i heard my bike crunch so many times but my fairings are fine. you want bar ends also.

 

lol...I have a D&D pipe and it doesn't suck. Sometimes if people can't see me, they can at least hear me so they don't hit me

 

I say invest in a camel back and fill it with VODKA! =D
