    Personally I'd do something with the front turn signals (flush mounts)



    and

    go for an underseat exhaust system

    Paint it Red! :P j/k

    How about Second Look Tank bra & seat-skins?


    Definately flush mounts (but personally, I prefer the small oval ones from Lockhart Phillips).

    Sliders, definately silders (but not the metal-capped carbon fiber kind - they do more harm than good).

    How about a blue windscreen? Maybe even a blue-chrome one?

    The rear signals looked slightly "turned up"... like they're falpping to fly awaaaayyyy. Adjust 'em so they're strait?

    And a nice double bubble windscreen?

    How about some Goodrich -2 braided front brake lines. I love the great feel they gave my front brakes on all the bikes I have installed them on.

    Also, maybe some Attack racing rearsets? And a rear seat cowl....

    I take all the reflectors off of my bikes, probably not as safe at night, but cleans up the look of the bike. I would also go with the small oval rear signals for the tailsection. They don't stick out......

    Someone I know here said that in "road racing world" magazine, there was no noticable difference between any of the steel braids. So I ordered standard goodrich brake lines instead of -2. Plus in the book, the regular goodrich are said to be -3. And at $100+ LESS than the -2 on just the FRONT BRAKE LINES, I'll go with the regular goodrich and spend the funds else where.

    As for upgrades. Full exhaust, aftermarket airbox, re-geared, jet kit, and you'll be adding about a true 20+ hp at the wheels.

    My bad, I just now noticed it was a R6, not an R1. I say work on the suspension and you'll be able to carve for days on end on that baby, and sliders of course Double bubble seems like a good investment too, I need to find a good high quality thick clear one for me, tired of the air hitting me right in the middle of the helmet even when fairly tucked over. I'm not much a cosmetic enhancement person, I'll dump the cash into making it rip before making it bling.
