Well, I really do think I have a bit of an addiction. Take a look here (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=32223) for my last thread dealing with this affliction.
I have now had my 750 for just under a month and have already made several little changes to make the bike as individual as I can (not as easy with a GSXR as it was with the Hornet)
The mods so far:
Indicators:
Replaced the front indicators with some lenses from Clear alternatives. Blends nicely with the mirror now. I also ordered brake lenses from them, but they sent me the wrong item.
Screen:
Replaced with a dark smoke double bubble. Better wind protection and looks nicer.
Wheel trim:
Added some blue rim tape and Suzuki racing stickers. Just for looks.
Stickers:
Removed almost all of them. Front, side, tail, warning, tank. This has probably changed the look of the bike the most so far. It looks much cleaner I think.
Levers:
Replaced with Pazzo racing shorts, black with blue adjusters. Had these on the Hornet and love them.
Bar ends.
The left side one was missing when I got home from Tauranga (losing the left side is a common problem with this bike apparently). Bay city motorcycles were great and sent another one. Have now installed Motivation weighted bar ends. No more buzz in the grips.
Frame sliders:
Motivation sliders up front and Motivation bobbins at the back.
Rear passenger pegs:
Removed these
Frame hole caps:
Picked up a set of caps on Ebay that fill the holes in the frame.
Previous mods done when I bought the bike:
Tail tidy:
Removed the ugly tail section.
Air filter:
Has a K&N fitted
Exhaust baffle:
Has been removed? Not sure what this means or if it is really better/louder.
Headlight guard:
Ventura guard fitted.
Future mods under consideration:
Exhaust:
Something louder and lighter please.
Rear sets:
Would like black and something that removes the vibrations in the feet.
Seat:
Would like a colour design that matches the bike. Also some new foam for comfort. McDonald trimmers here I come.
Tinted headlight cover:
Not sure about this one, will see what it looks like.
R1 throttle
Swap the stock throttle with one from the R1, to get the 1/4 turn to full throttle.
The first picture is the bike as I got it. The next three are as it is now.
