Best has been projector HID headlights. It changes the whole look and presence of the bike.

Good tyres, noisy exhaust, hotgrips, etc are great, but HIDs get the prize for me.

Up until I went racing Id've said exhaust and power commander..................................but now after investing the $$ it'd have to be better suspension 100%.

I would vote "digressive suspension" as number one mod also. I'm half way through collecting bits to do mine (WP shock, replacement spring) but it's not cheap - can run into the thousand(s). Maybe this summer..

I'm just so sick of bumpy rides.

Good tyres.
Good leathers.
Double bubble Puig.
But my favourite of all,has been a stainless micron can.
It's nice to be able to hear myself when riding with others.

Oh....And a 15 tooth cog up front has made an awesome difference.

on both the bandit and the sv650, the best 'mod' although really it's just part of setting the bike up correctly for yourself, is getting correct weight fork springs imho. Even without emulators, it makes a huge difference. I got mine from www.sonicsprings.com which are fairly cheap, depending on the exchange rate.

Comfort would be replacing rearsets with adjustable aftermarket ones and a double bubble screen,adjustable steering damper.Performance,Flashing ecu,aftermarket air filter,Tre,front/rear suspenders,replaced calipers with Busa 6 pots/braided lines.Other would be bits n bobs like undertray,6 bolt clutch etc.

Convenience: Ventura packrack, garage door opener button
Performance: Staintune highmount zorst, PCII, suspension (Elka rear shock, Sonic Springs fork springs)
