Eventually, but I need to buy some other stuff first (gas tank, top box, lever guards, heated grips, longer shift lever, possibly a rear shock, new helmet, gonna get a textile suit, and less aggressive riding boots). HID's and LED tail light to save electricity are on my list, but they are not a priority. Before the HID's I also want to get the oversized brake rotor and caliper relocation kit.
I think the only thing I want to after the headlight is the 18" wheel conversion for the front, supposedly its a much better ride, both on and off road.
And just for a laugh read the last post on this page

There are plenty of (skinny) "front" tires availavle for a 19" rim. I think most guys running the 18" on the front do so because the fatter rear tires fit on the rims.
This raises an interesting thought. I don't know if anybody is running directional tread but if so, directional tread is usually reversed from front to rear because you want acceleration grip on the rear and deceleration grip on the front. I first noticed this on my friends sport bike after he had new tires put on and I said 'your treads are reversed' then I looked for the direction arrows and saw that they were correct.
