    I'm a rocket rider, so when the wind hits, I duck down, I'm looking into some clip ons, or a pair of drag bars for her, I want to be comfortable, but aggressive, and coming from my experience on an FZ1, I like being at a slightly forward lean, esp. with a passenger.

    I' going to need a list of replacement parts/aftermarkets, so I can get this baby perfect...

    -Turn sigs, and brake lights, preferably flushmounts, or very simple in design, and also LEDs are always nice (as well as the link to get the leds to work properly)

    -aftermarket seat, something sportier, with space for 2

    -how to get my engine pretty looking again

    -like I said earlier, new handlebars, preferably black

    -mirrors... smaller round clip-ons (not for use, I turn my head instead of using the mirrors, I move around too much

    -hard cases or bags, preferably easily removed

    -a white wall rear tire (my damned bike...)

    that's all for now, I'll take links, suggestions, and any other advice, as well as opinions

        218?

        I remember 218... 40+ lbs ago it was....

        Y'all are lightweights...and I'm not even 6'....only 5'11"

        I am working on reducing sprung weight however so perhaps by the time I see any of you guys again I will more closely approximate a bowling PIN instead of the BALL...
