So far, getting rid of the stock exhaust and putting on a carbon Yoshi R77 slip-on. 4 kg in weight saving and 100% improvement in the looks department.

Heated grips and only $70. I know it's boring but when it's really cold I love that switch.

X2 to the heated grips!

Gear wise, it would definitely be the Scala G4 headset. They make group riding with mates so much more fun!

I would concentrate on items which make a machine run or do something better first over looks - [b]but[/b] with the Bandit family, the exhaust bazooka is just too big. Vote 1 aftermarket can. Everything else is hidden. Twisted Evil

That's going on to my list for the weekend.

I enjoy having a gear position indicator thanks to Healtech - the 1250s doesn't get one as standard. With loads of torque throughout the rev range, it's not always that easy to know what gear you're in without a GPI.

I never realised all it has is that little pig snout to breath through!

Well we'll be seeing to that won't we! Twisted Evil
