ohlins front and rear suspension
full akrapovic exhaust, power commander, air filter etc

vortex rearsets.

only thing ive added to my bike from standard is a double bubble screen and a front suspension rebuild.
the two best mods so far ;)

im in the process of making a fender eliminator.

To sort performance...
full noise exhaust
power commander and filter to utilise exhaust to full potential

For looks...
Fender Eliminator coz standard is fugly
Shiny bar ends
Nice screen (But I think you have one of those)
Polish lots of bits

went to bunnings and bought a piece of right angle metal
ive so far cut it to shape.

tonight i will drill the holes and fit it up.
then i will file off the rough edges, paint it and make sure it looks good then i will put it all on permanantly.

eventually i will wire up a LED light for the number plate - if i can be bothered.

when i finish it (if it is a success) i will do a more detailed post about it.

HP, if you still yearn for more *BLING* then perhaps you could go for some polished parts. Here are some pics of some wheels I did today off a VFR 800 Honda.

I'd be getting rid of the pillion pegs as you've got a rear cowl cover on.

Get yourself a nice exhaust hanger.
Rearsets.
A few anodised bolts.
Some rim stickers.
And pigshooters if you like em.
