Default Next Mod - What should it be?

Tail tidy has duly been fitted, so I'm after my next mod to do. I'm still a total numpty when it comes to it so nothing too technical.......

I was thinking maybe a new DB screen, if so what one?

Or would the money be better spent elsewhere, apart from the tail tidy the bike is standard.

Yeah - tempted, but not sure which one and my ability to be able to fix it myself????

Money is obviously a factor too!

if your signature is upto date, i would say crash bungs, then a can, then, DB screen

Out of interest, if you have been looking @ DB screens, how much are they for the pointy?? i fancy one!

Good point Ollie. I saw R&G on his sig but now see they are just the bar ends. So Bungs 1st.

Get some motosliders if you are after crash bungs, far better than R&G and much cheaper.

Some people don't like DB screens, it can add discomfort (well just move it up your body a bit). A nice slip on can sounds a very good idea, get that lovely V-twin burble!

Or how about spending the money on some tools first, Halfords do a good selection of kits and they are good value and quality (mine have lasted several years with no problems).

Yeah my sig is right, I do have R&G bar ends but no crash bungs. One of the bar-ends is also a bit damaged due to it meeting the road a while back and CB's would have been very useful.

Are they easy to fit?
