Default Current Mods Q&A

New to the site (but not forums) and was wondering the best route to go with regard to the first few upgrades a new owner or new tuner should consider. What brands are best, what mods are the smartest, and what are the best looking...

I currently have yosh's slip-on (but is dented from laying it down and am replacing it within the next month), HID's, short stem mirrors, manual tensioner, some other cosmetic stuff....

Just want to see where this goes... kinda taking the temp of the group... thanks in advance for your help, as some of your responses will help me make the best decision..

Probably help if we knew what bike you have and any pertinent details.

However, as a new owner my suggestion would be to put some real seat time into it first and figure out what it is you like or don't like before you start throwing money it at.

Most 'new' sportbikes don't need anything , contrary to most forum content unless your planning to race it, drag it or stunt it. Your best mods are going to be cosmetic and ergonomic as per personal preference.

IMO.

sorry about that... it's a 01' F4i... was wondering more about the cosmetic and suspension mods more than anything, but I just wanted to see what you may have to say collectively... I know where to go for car mods, bikes seem to be a bit different...
