Hello, by the way!

Theres plenty that can be done!

But the necessaries are to replace the snow shovel on the back and put a noisy can on! Make sure you let your insurance company know otherwise it won't be covered! Doh!:rolleyes:

The jack up kit will raise the rear of the bike by about 20-30mm. This helps the bike to turn in a bit quicker.

Theres plenty of cans out there to choose from, personal preference really?

I got my Beowulf from the NEC last year, £90, alot of people seem to like Fuel Exhausts as well. (They were my first port of call at the NEC, but I had to wait 2 weeks for delivery, being impatient I went to the Beowulf stand and got one there!)

I'm really pleased with it, its their stubby version stainless oval.

It's what you need when you have a restricted licence, like me. Not a mod i'd recomend on a full power licence!! :lol:

If your under the age of 21 you can't do a full licence, the closest thing you can do is 33bhp restricted licence. This just means any bike you ride must have a restrictor restricting it to 33bhp. Easy on most modern bikes via the ECU. The restricted licence last for 2years and after that time you can ride any powered bike you like. My restriction ends next June, can't wait. I'll be 19 and would love to buy another bike in a year or so but the insurance man won't let me!!! :roll:

If it were my cash. For the bike

If you can find an undertray get one it'll tidy up the rear end nicely.
Exhaust.
Double bubble screen if you do alot of long motorway trips.
Scotoiler - again if you commute alot or do long trips they are really useful
Bungs - just because you never know whats going to happen

For you

If you're a new rider, look at some more or advanced training or IAM, best to get everything dialed in now, rather than form bad habbits that you have to then try and break later on in your biking career.

Jack up kit may make the bike turn in a little faster, but not alot else I would think.
