Title: Ok - if you could only make ONE mod to your bike - which would you choose?

So a bit of fun..............here's the scenario. You have a bog standard GSX1400 and can only make ONE modification to it.

What one mod would YOU choose as the best mod to make?

For me? Pazzo levers.

NOTE: Your answer does not have to be unique and can be the same as others. Just interested as to which mod YOU value most. I think the answers will be quite enlightening.... :grin:

Now this isn't quite as easy as it first sounds :frustrated:

I'll go with braided brake lines.

Lowered Hagons - My last 14 had shortened Hagon Nitro's ( length as advised by Gnome ) with a lowered seat - wow what a difference having both feet flat on the ground - Handling wasn't affected :smile2:

one mod is very limiting. have to think back. best was modified seat, no doubt. can i have two? exhaust change a must. they were the start of the never ending.

I'm going with braided lines too, good brakes seems a better choice before increasing the power.

Bob might have a 1550 or 1700, but he'll still have the std bazooka to go with his std brakes & suspension. That's gotta be a good thing. Yeah right.

The irony here is I have a standard can on mine!! Thought about changing it, just not got round to it. Don't want it too loud - but a bit more cackle would be nice.
Anyone know of a straight replacement that doesn't upset fueling etc & that isn't too loud?
