I just now remembered....the first thing I did was put frame sliders on mine.
 I keep forgetting they're there. Doh!

My Buell already had an exhaust. First thing I did was put frame sliders on it.

Put some decent handlebars on it. Grip heaters at the same time. The stock bars were too "sit up and beg." Passenger grab bars- mainly to add tie down points.
The rest is mostly practical maintenance type upgrades. Removed the fork reflectors for easier stand/caliper access. Stickier tires, better brake pads. At some point, I'll put on stainless lines and suspension upgrades. No blingy pretty nonsense for me. (The lines will be black or smoked with plain ends- purely functional)

When I got my 08' 250r...the first thing I did was take off the ugly tag holder and customize it. Now it’s small and pretty.

My first mods are always the exhaust. It's not necessarily about "more power", I simply don't want my bikes to sound like the damn sewing machines. Gotta release some of that character.

First thing I did to my Tuono... before I even registered or insured it... was bring it to the track & do a track day
 Then, after pushing the front through turn 1a I ditched the Bridgestones for some Pirelli's.
