Your First Mod

Bassplayer · 02-15-2009, 02:48 AM

When you got the current bike what was your first mod and why.

Post up yo.

Since Im gonna be getting my bike soon enough, wanted to see what you guys usually do... (not that ill have the $$ to do it but still)

Most of my friends Ive known their first mods they go for the slip on can, and or flush mounts, How bout you guys?

I guess I fall into that category........I put on a slip on, Scorpion, for Christmas from my wife. I really wanted one as the stock can just plain sucked as far as sound and looks. I have to be able to hear atleast a little something coming from the damn thing.

I just got the bike, but the first thing I plan on doing when I get money is switching out the exhaust. This thing sounds like it's humming, and I want something that roars. After that I'll probably upgrade some of the plastic to chrome and get better grips. Probably get a more comfortable seat too.

Why did you get me thinking about this?! So much money needed..

Of course I wanted exhaust but the bike is loud enough.

I did frame sliders since I didn't want my baby getting too Fed up when I biffed it.

They have already paid them selves off millions of times.

Didn't like the "first thing to mod" thread zoomie started??

On the SV, first was flushmounts, then fender elim, then slip on. That order because of $$ at the time.

Race Tech Springs in the forks. I am not a 130 lb Japanese man.

The first thing I do when I get a bike is rotate the clutch lever down to where I like it. With my '09 I kept a lot of the mods from my '06 that fit right up. So my first mods to my '09 R6 were levers, smoked integrator, fender eliminator and some swingarm spools. I bought a windscreen the next day and frame sliders were shortly after that. Oh yeah, a tank pad, too.

The first thing I did on my CBR was adjusted out the 1/4 inch of slack on the throttle cables. It seems that most bikes have that. The first thing I changed were the grips. The stock "waffle" grips were like holding ....waffles.

Aside from destickering my bike, I can't remember what the first mod was I done. Either a snorkelectomy or the yoshi slip on. Hell, it could have been aftermarket front blinkers. My ex did it all around the same time so I can't remember.
