If you ask my wife? The bike itself.

I haven't spent much on mods, as the budget doesn't allow it.

A&R Baffle Kit (stock look, slip-on sound, $100)

Sliders (a necessity, IMO)

Throttlemeister (for Sturgis and to lessen bar vibration)

Stomp Grip (mine has been through some HOT weather with no issues - don't know what the problem was with the previous mentioning of Stomp Grip).

Gear. 2-piece leathers, boots, 2 pair of gloves, mesh jacket, helmet.

I got a guard for my front fender. They say it is suppose to help with mud but I got it because I liked how it looked.

Try a trackday where the air temp is 107 - and it's 147 on the paddock. Then, run 30-minute sessions on said trackday. Now, tell me if your stomp grip stays where it should....

It won't.

I've had 6 customers lose theirs. Not just Tye.

It's my winning choice of useless products right up there next to the reason why people buy FRAMEsliders.

Bike parts cost alot in Canada. The same setup in the states would probably cost 50-60% as much.

Pointless? My exhaust. Like I needed the extra 10-15hp.
