Default What was the first modification to your bike?

Hi everyone,

I am doing a little bit of research for my University project and wondered if you would be willing to help me out?

All I am asking is that you post the first modification or bolt on part that you added / changed on your bike and why.

Thanks in advance,

Chris.

SV - Frame sliders (to prevent crash damage) shortly followed by a dark smoke Fabbri Double Bubble screen (to prevent head buffet and to look cool).

GSX-R - BT-016 tyres, wanted some decent grip.

Rear hugger and fenda-extenda on the front; Both to help the bike out during my year round riding, to prevent as much road crud getting into the engine and related corrosion and to keep the front cylinder as dry as possible after a few wet plug incidents.
