Keep the bike close to standard wise regarding mirrors and indicators. You could tidy up the back end with a tail tidy, but ride in the wet and you'll end up with a filthy back end. Your choice

A near enough standard bike sells waay easier come moving on time.
but do the braided lines and ebc pads upgrade. Improves the braking no end.

Modify to your hearts content & your wallet size, as long as they increase the pleasure you get from riding your bike..

Welcome.

Looks like the sensible mods have been done for you - rear hugger and fender extender.

If you've got an eye to resale keep the original parts for any other mods you make so they can go back on when you sell.

Or... you can modify the hell out of it and spend a fortune that you'll have no hope of getting back.:D Which is still OK in my book.

Welcome!

The nicest indicators are the ones that car, van, taxi, truck, bus etc etc drivers can see (not CAN and not DO). The vast majority of aftermarket jobs just don't seem so good at this task. "Tidying" the tail can look good however, you'll end up covered in crud if you plan to ride in wet conditions. Brake lines are recommended to be replaced after 4 years, so if the original rubber ones are of this age or more, braided lines are calling.

BEST modification? See my signature.......

Welcome from EK! As another EKer you have inspired me to become more active in this forum.

Nice bike except for the curves. Get an Aberdeen FC logo on that and you're sorted :p

It has crash bungs and a scotoiler already. Not sure what the rest of your stuff actually does so I'll look into it, or you could break it down for me if you were feeling kind....!

haha! Welcome then!

There's a boy in Whitehills on here too. Where are you in EK?

Aberdeen?!?! I'm originally a Manchester lad so it's be City all the way I'm afraid, despite the red bike!
