Best convenience/practicality mods
 
Getting my Kriega US-20 for storage when I need it and eyeing up some rear set risers so that I can lower the pegs by an inch or so (i'm 6'1" and get cramp behind my knees on long rides) and have a pair of Osram Nightbreakers to upgrade the stock bulbs.

Sure there are a few other mods that will make the bike even better than it already is and thought you lot could enlighten me!

Scotoiler - reduces the amount of chain maintenance you have to do, useful if you are planning a long trip or commute

Fenda Extenda - keeps the muck off your bike

Double Bubble Screen - Reduces windblast on motorways

I got Pazzo levers cos the clutch hurt my hands. Scottoiler is worth every penny.

Helibars or similar to help hand and wrist ache on longer rides.

Yamaha FJ1200 at supposed to fit with a little modification and a lot less money.

+1 on the fenda extenda. Its a must have, otherwise the front cyclinder cuts out in wet weather

Think it's got the fenda extenda, is it the black plastic bit on the back of the fender on the front wheel? I've been alright with the wrists and hands, have had a bit of a burning crampy type thing with the palm of my hand on the throttle grip though occasionally. I know you can adjust the reach on the front brake lever but can you do the same on the clutch lever? I don't mean move the biting point, that's fine, but the distance between the lever and the grip?

Crash bungs are the next thing to go on I think but I'm not sure whether to get R&G's or not as I don't want to cut the fairings.

I've got a CCC can which I'm loving at the moment so will leave that on.

I'll do a search on the R6 mod now, will the smaller sprocket affect insurance? What difference does it make?
