Default Keeping it so improvements needed

Right I have to keep it as I really can't afford an SS 600, however much I would like one.

So I am going to personalise mine a bit more so that it will keep me happy for a few more months, any ideas of improving the looks of the bike?

I have ordered some clear indy's this morning.

Also any suggestions have to be seriously easy for me to do or have details of someone to fit for me as I am a total dunce.......

Oh yeah it is a Silver K3 pointy, as the picture. Except it now has a seat cowl, bar-ends and OEM hugger.

Personally I think the pointy always needs a belly pan, I'm biased mind
Can't quite tell if the 'zorst is standard? If it is then a Fuel or CCC would be lurvely
Hmm, what else, fender extender might not be a bad idea? And snow shovel removal?

Yeah I fancy the snow shovel removal option but have the alarm LED mounted on it, plus I am a total plank when it comes to DIY bike stuff.

It took me over an hour to fit the hugger and two weeks for the bar ends!!!

IMO a belly pan is needed on a pointy, get yourself a new can as well, sounds so much better than the standard.

I moved the alarm LED and popped it in-between the back LED lights, fits like a glove! A tail tidy is a must have!

I'm sure most guys and girls have done these mods so there will be loads of help at hand should you need it.

How about a fork springs and oil upgrade?Cheap mod and makes it handle better.Not up to ss600 levels but who cares for £50?

I did have a poly26 bellypan, but wasn't that keen on it, so never fitted it.

Haven't really seen one that I like.

I was thinking of some lowers, but they are expensive and I'm not too sure on them either now.

Forks & exhaust first, it'll feel like you've bought a new bike.
