Oh boy...welcome to the dark side. Start with...airbox mod, charging system mod, fan switch mod, I went 16 front and 40 rear sprockets...gotta check for sure, 520 conversion, have the suspension set up for you, Yosh full exhaust, smart TRE, pair valve mod, power commander, 98 Dodge Caravan Fuel Pump(trust me...remember this!) and I think you can drain the stock fluid from the steering damper and run 2.5 oil in the stock damper is pretty good. Here are some sites. I went with PM Chicane wheels on mine...trust us...get lighter wheels.

I'll see if I can find the links when I get home. The free mods are Airbox...charging system is cheap, just wires and a fuse...pair valve mod needs some block off plates fabbed...maybe Leon or someone has some or can get some?...fan switch is cheap....and the steering damper is under $20. The sites I listed have everything and parting out a few bikes, take a look around and see what tickles your giblets.

And if ya really want to do a quick, cheap mod...drill out the rivets and remove the baffling in your stock cans, you can even cut them down and paint or coat them. I have seen this done with good success and it looks cool with the engine paints on the shelves today.

Be careful with the airbox mod. I know more people who have had trouble with it than not. I haven't done it yet for that reason, but I did find a spare airbox on Ebay to cut up and play with when I get ready. The TRE is a good mod, as is the PAIR valve removal. If you want to really have a scary ride, change around the sprockets. I tried a -1 in the front and the thing likes to wheelie even more now than it did before. Also, re: the 520 conversion. Think long and hard about that one. Personally, I wouldn't run a 520 conversion on a liter bike. I've seen the carnage that results. It's not pretty. Think *new motor*.

Easy. 520 chainsets typically are recommended for 750cc and down motorcycles by the major chain manufacturers. If you put a 520 chain on a liter bike, there's a chance it will never give you trouble. There's also the chance that it will give, sending the chain hurtling through your crankcase at speed. Believe me when I say that holes that big are not repairable with JB Weld.
Sure, racer guys use 520s. However, they also change out their chain and sprockets every race or two. It's up to you of course, but I've always been of the opinion the weight savings in the chain/sprocket area wasn't enough to make it a chance I was willing to take.

I've been running 520 chain and sprockets on my Tuono for two years now. It wears out a lot quicker than 525 chain and sprockets but otherwise, I like it a lot better. Faster acceleration.

The absolute MEANEST bike I've ever heard is the Buell XBRR. Insanely loud and sounded like it was fueled by inhaling children.
