DOn't get me started on my inner panel mods!!
Did not like my undertail, went back to a modified stock undertail.
I think everyone has done something that they ended up not liking. Its all about experimenting until you get just what you want. The beyotch is all the money wasted on things you ended up not liking or things that caused even more money to be spent to "fix" or return the bike ot the way it was. Oh well.
Now mods I would like to do but probably will regret or wish I had not spent the money on?
HID lighting (is that the right name?)
High zoot magnesium wheels (Marvic is calling my name......)
Turbo would be sweet but definately would end up a regret!
Carbon fibre bodywork
Ohlins forks / Brembo brakes
Sato rear sets
Solo seat rear bodywork
LED tail lights/signals
All of this is cool but not necessary and a lot of money and work etc. etc.
Oh who am I kidding, I want all of these things!!!!

Sometimes I regret "modding" my sweet blue/silver '01 for the Annibusa...the 01 was such a sweet bike, and now I gotta spend all this money duplicating the mods on the '03.....but I do really like the orange color on my new bike.
Sean....if you read this....how is the old girl??

hmmm...just the hump mod. I probably wouldn't do it again.
So, which of these two humps does yer house mouse sit on. You've got a hump for when she rides, and one for when she don't...
I regret snatchin' the warning decals and reflectors...
NOT!

Lockhart windscreen sucked. I even knew this before I ordered, but happen to add it on a large order and not think what I was doin'. I got a ZG now. Although not a total regret, but if I knew more about the BDE III I would'a went w/ it rather than my Akro Evo. Still can't beat the quality. Airscoops sucked, but gotem' as part of a package.

I lowered my bike via dog bones in middle hole. Did the front with reapers risers. I love the way it looks. I like my footing when stoped I'm able to stand up and get my ass off the seat for a minute. Still handles well (not too low). But I will admit she has been bottomed out several times. My BDE header has a flat spot on the header pipe as a result. But It's all good I'll change to a new header pipe if it wears a hole in it. I'm more carefull now about my clearence.
Also after doing the pipe, small air box mod and pair block off I was having a problem with small back fires once in a while. Thought it was the map in my PCIIIr but turned out my idle was too low. I raised it to around 1300 and no more problem. So finally my answer is that I'm very happy with all my mods so far but I hate to waste money and hate even more to do mods that slow this beast down so I take my time and research all my poop before I do it and try to get it right the first time. That is why these boards and the wealth of knowledge here are key !
