Hope this will help you:
1. Changed tires after 8500 miles to Dunlop Elite III's. MT90B-16 Front and MV85B-15 Rear. The MT90B-16 is a 130, while the rear MV85B-16 is still a 150. The stock front tire is a 150. The front tire is narrower than stock which improves slow speed handling. Makes the front end feel a lot lighter
2. I switched to the pillow seat. My Midnight Venture had a regular studded seat which I thought was to firm. Take your pick.
3. Have a Butler Cup Holder, they come in 20oz or 34oz.
4. No trick, just an early warning.
5. Installed Tinted Lower Wind Vents that direct air into lower cockpit area(See Yamaha Accessories). Also purchased a 17 1/2 inch wide windshield (See Yamaha Accessories) and cut to proper height.
6. Installed Harley Davidson Road Knight pipes. Yes they fit, need to make a new mounting bracket, but they work and sound better than stock. Also you can get more rumble from these pipes with some minor adjustments.
