Right, I'm now on a mission. The missus doesn't know yet, but let's not worry about that.

Next tweaks - belly pan. Anyone recommend one?

New bars. A set of flat Renthals or chage to clip-ons? I'm assuming that would take a change of top yoke? Advise me BCF.

Bar end mirrors with either choice.

Tail tidy. I've looked, but am struggling to find one for the 03-06 model.

Anyone any idea what a change of forks to USDs would cost?

Opinions munchkins please...

Personally would change the bars to renthals then spend money on trackdays instead.

Renthal bars, cheap enough, either road lows or ultra lows depending on preferred riding position, lows are roughly the same height as stock but wider and at a lesser angle.

Tail tidy, 03 you'd either have to cut down the existing undertray or buy a new full undertray, it is all one piece on the stock one.

Bellypan, whichever takes your fancy, was gonna put one on mine but couldn't justify the cost in something that was purely cosmetic and makes the downpipes harder to clean

What J D said.

If you want clipons can still keep the old yoke. However you may find you want adjust the peg position too.

That's still an option, but a girl can change her mind, can't she?
