Modifications
Micron carbon fiber exhaust - Freer flowing, nice full sound, stays cool to the touch, considerably lighter than stock. K&N Air Filter - Freer flowing and can be cleaned repeatedly rather than having to replace. Power Commander II - Overrides the stock fuel mapping to produce crisper throttle response and a few more horsepower. Corbin seat - Can ride all day long and my butt doesn't complain. Givi E52 topbox - The biggest Givi makes. Holds lots of swag. Y2k mirrors - Honda introduced a much better looking mirror system in 2000. ProGrips grips with heating elements underneath - I have installed Symtec grip heaters underneath my ProGrips grips. They are inexpensive and easy to install, and they're quite toasty on cold rides. I have them installed on both of my bikes. Changed horn to a Fiamm Highway Blaster Lo-Tone - This unit is MUCH louder than the stock horn. It's a very good safety enhancement for $15; it is a direct swap, taking all of about 5 minutes to install, with no wire cutting.
