Mods.

Anodized bolts.
Go faster flames.
Paint the letters on the tyre sidewalls.
Fluffy dice hanging from each bar end.
Pretty colour florescent tubes.
Tiger print cloth on the tank.
1000W ghetto blaster.
Microwave.
A grands worth of trick wheels
Trick suspension.
Fancy exhaust system.

If you want to sell the machine would it not be best to leave it standard?

Why do you want to spend money on "bolt ons" if you're trying to sell it?? Question Confused - A standard bike will sell easier and quicker so leave it standard if you're selling it....

That's no way to make friends Houlsby.

If you want to make it look better, just by a tyre pen and a decent tank pad. Maybe some indicators if you're that way inclined.
Anything else is a waste, it's a fine looking bike as it is (well i think it looks like a pregnant goldfish actually but still) Laughing

Less is more, in my opinion.

Never understood why people customise* stuff, for example, there's a reason Vauxhall Nova's don't have colour keyed wiper blades as standard - it looks fucking daft.

Why spend money to reduce somethings value, or am I missing something?

* why is the BCF spell checker trying to make me spell this with a z (that's zed not zee), the correct English spelling uses an s, it should at lease have both.

At a dealership they would give you less... selling private, many mods especially exhaust = been messed with = was it done properly? = was it rejeted? = is it about to explode?

What you think is tastefull/usefull somebody else might think is utter shat...

If your going to make any mods then make them cheap, i.e. grips, bars, downgearing/up gearing... depends allot on what you want to improve?

Best mods are ones you can unscrew and put on your next bike, like headed grips, that sort of thing... then you dont waste any money...
