Power Commander to go with exhaust & air filter.

BST carbon fiber rims...

Ohlins Internals for the fork, a Penske Triple clicker shock.

:lol:

Just Kidding.

OK, for the spools, get Woodcraft. Same thing for the frame sliders. It's a subject that has been beat to death, they're the best on the market.

520 conversion, the stock chain is a 525 (might even be a 530), which refers to size, 520 is smaller, with less weight, thus less parasitic loss in power transfer, so better acceleration. If you go with aluminum sprockets it also hass slightly less unsprung weight, which helps with handling, although very minimally if you're just changing the sprockets. Really, it provides no cosmetic difference, unless you go with a nice gold chain. The conversion includes sprockets, front and rear, so you can change your gearing at the same time. In my opinion, the conversion isn't necessary and would be a waste of money (do you really need faster acceleration?), if you want, a gold chain would look pimp but you can just get a stock sized one and save yourself some money.

Pazzo's, definitely black on black.

A PC3 would be a good choice because with the right tune it would make the power curve much smoother and improve throttle response.

That bike should be plenty fast in stock form. I would spend the money towards track schools/track days.
You'll then know exactly which mods to get.

Sadly, I agree. There have been a few other Yamaha forums that popped up as a result of VS taking over R1 forums. But there is no other specific R1 forum that has anywhere near the amount of info the R1 forms does.

Ahhhhhh, thank you (both of you). Never something I would've even bothered with on the previous bike, but if there's an actual RIDING/performance advantage (and it's not just for looks) then it might be worth adding to the list.

Yeah I'm not so much looking for performance mods/more speed... more just cosmetic (and protection) stuff for now....

lightweight wheels, HID headlights and an alarm since I hear Fla is the bike jacking capital of America.

If you want the looks, fine.

If you just want to protect the tank, check out the Tankslapper product. It is a clear vinyl that will protect the paint but is almost undetectable.

Stomp grips are overkill for street riding, imo.

The rest of the list looks good! :dthumb:

Stompgrips are primarily for gripping the tank when cornering, they help in any situation not just on track. I've never heard of anyone putting them on for looks. :lol:
I really like the look of these, thinking about getting them during winter.

I dunno, my first mod suggestion is always suspension. It doesn't have the same visual bang for the buck, but it'll make riding the bike so much more enjoyable (depending how crappy the stock setup is).

I've always been partial to those R1s. Pazzos would spice it up nicely.
