                      such as what? im up for ideas. i plan on doing a repaint next winter on it but thats all i planed but why not mod it while i can so open to suggestions.
                      i was thinking of doing my own fairing for the back taking the rear seat off. and sooner or later putting a 1100 in it. i would also like to put a busa front end on it and possibly if i dont do the custom rear then a gsxr tail
