Best mod you've done to your bike?

[Valver]

What is the best modification you've made to your machine?

Race can/sprocket change/Re-map/K&N?

Mine would have to be my TRE. For £4.99 (ebay) you gain about 30bhp in the first 3 gears turning a bike thats already a neat wheelie machine into a beast that wants to backflip everytime you blip the throttle. Fitted in 30seconds and can be turned off at the flick of a switch(still ain't turnd it off yet, EVER).
Can't beat that for value for money.

What does that do exactly? Is that for fuel injected bikes only?

Can't say I found the TRE on my TL1000R that impressive, it does give it more edge in the first three gears but it'd still power wheelie without quite happily.

And they're ~£20 on eBay not £5.

It was cheap and fitted to the bike when I bought it, but they're not that impressive really.

Best mod? I'd have to say down gearing my ZX6R was the best mod I've made to a bike. Much better acceleration, better value and gains than a TRE.

Best mod for a bike... probably the twin airhorns I fitted to my GPZ750R.

Downgeared it.

Race can, K&N, dynojet aren't all that noticeable (apart from the noise) but one tooth down at the front and four up at the back is.

Have always fancied air horns though.

I'd say that downgearing was one of the best things that I've done to a few bikes. Changes the whole feel of the bike. I'm not bothered about 100mph+ and I love corners.

Hmmmmm....
Dunno if I'll bother, my bike wheelies well enough as it is and is quick enough out of corners.
Don't bother much with M,ways but still like to see the dark side of the speedo sometimes!

A little bit of downgearing can increase your top end, by letting the bike actually get to the redline in 6th, which the stock gearing doesn't always do.

[cc123]

I've heard of folks dropping a cog at the front and thats all, what kind of affect would that have?

Downgearing

Only cost me a couple of quid for the sprockets, different bike when there on, 2nd gear power wheelies?

I think i still have the application somewhere, where you put in the top speed in all the gears with one ratio, then write in the new ratio and it tells you your top speed.

And then you guess that you'll t ake off like shit on a stick

Since my speedo runs off the front sprocket can I just change the rear sprocket and not make a difference to the reading?
