Only extra needed are mirror extenders. About £30 on eBay. They use the existing mirrors with a 25cm shaped extender that blends in with the mirrors. They don't look like a bodge and you get to see what is behind you apart from your elbows.

This

Anyways
- Air Filter: Stock, unless your intending to re-jet and set the fuelling up properly
- Chain and Sprockets: DID X-ring, its about £90 (£140 fitted normally). Only do it if it needs it! My chains about 11 year old and is now just worn out (16k)
- Tail tidy: Search for Wideboy's or Zunkus's threads on the one WB designed
- HID: not worth the hassle as coming more difficult to get through the MoT (unless you swap them out just before)
- Indicators: Stock for me. Avoid the micro's as they can't be seen unless 3ft away
-Tyres: The preferred ones are Dunlop Roadsmarts (and no doubt RS2's once we start using them), Avon Storms and BT023's anything stickier is a little bit of waste of money on the road (Unless you can get a supply or Pirelli and Michelin road legal scrubs for not much money)

Pointy and Curvy restrictor kits are different. I think YC made some a little while ago, they do come up on ebay now and again

Joe, Bi-Xenon is the name for a HID lamp, it doesn't refer to how many you get....

owww :/ . i got my bike today and it spits flames . im loving it . but has alot of cosmetic . like the wiring of indicators . the old 1s are still in but in back off seat and new 1s use power from them and relay . needs a rewire tbh

you can never see the real details on the tinterweb anyway. generally it is better to view it in the flesh first, fingers crossed it doesn't have anything else like that - could be an indication to how it has been looked after.
