Welcome to the site, by the way.

Had the engine worked on by a pro back in 02, and now have 108 HP at the back tire. Eat up the others whenever I want. And no, I can't tell you what was done.

Baker Built FootWings on my '86 VR. They keep the wind off my feet in cold weather, and will keep rain off them in wet weather.

I probably have one of the more "unique" early 1st gens with a lot of mods.

Functional: Corbin seat lowered 1-1/2 inches, upgraded head light to 86 up style, running lights, arm rests for wife I made with her own cup holder. Blaupunkt CD-MP3 player with 4 speakers installed.

Safety: Air horns, Strobes in head light, strobes in trunk light bar with LED lights on trunk when brakes activated.

Looks: painted Twight Royal Pearl, a soft pearl purple with ghost flames. Made "bikini" side panels to open engine up with lowers removed. Polished front forks, handle bars and engine covers.

There are probably more than I can think of, but all these things are my favorite and I use them all!!!

Amazing how it's so hard to decide what you like the most.. other than the bike as the whole.. Loved the Wing to Venture mod.. LOL...

 

I made my very first change to my bike tonight.. the only new part I had laying around that would fit..

 

I replaced the plastic valve cover for the rear shock with a chrome spike cap... EH.. it's a start..

[ronhenry4]

the day i bought my 07 i also bought 3000 buck worth of chrome lol

[OutlawRider]

Mine was the driving lights before I picked it up I want to be seen as much as possible. Also had the trunk rack put on at the same time. The next was the LED brake light bar for visiblity from the rear. Now I can start adding the good stuff.

 

 

 

 

[KiteSquid]

Getting the title.

[hig4s]

For me the Utopia back rest was the best mod.. The XXL Clearview shield would probably be my wife's favorite mod, she gets lots less buffeting now.

 

Second for me would be the lowers vents,, when it is hot down here in the summer they make a big difference.

 

Luggage rack is real handy, Battery tender connection almost a necessity, Zumo 550 with 4gig memory card for MP3s just plain fun. LED brake light makes me feel a little more comfortable that I'll be noticed when I stop.

 

XM radio,, was OK but now that I have the Zumo, it will be coming off.

[aaron]

I will second the Utopia backrest. I would always get a knot in my upper back while riding, sometimes even short distances. I rode to the black hills last year after putting on my backrest and had no problem at all.

[cookie]

I would have to say backrest, cup holder and armrest for the wife. If she's not comfortable, I wont be...LOL Driving Lights and luggage rack are on order and will be installed asap.

[DFWRSTD]

I can't stop, I can't stop. I've added everything I can think of so far to my bike and I know there's more to be had..gimme gimme gimme, I think I might have a problem. The only thing that helps is knowing I'm not alone.

[spear]

1. Barons Risers (thanks Don)

Flanders Handlebars

 

Ditto on that. The Flanders have allowed me to ride for more than a couple of hours without getting that knife in the shoulder blade pain. Now I ride all day in comfort. The Utopia backrest works in concert with the Flanders bars.-Jack

Same for me. I love my Flanders pullbacks. All day rides are no longer a problem and a couple of hours was about the best I could do as well before I installed them. I also went to the Mustang seat with the driver backrest, which allows me to ride without my back belt. No more sore lower back, and my co-pilot likes the pillion a lot more too.
