How many miles before you started modding?

[sxty8goats]

I tend to buy bikes used but typically start changing stuff in in the first week or so. If I get a hundred miles on a bike before I change something, it was only because I was waiting on parts.

First mod is progrip gel grips. They really soak up a lot of vibration.

TIRES DONT COUNT AS A MOD UNLESS YOU CHANGE TO KNOBBYS!! its a maintenace purchase. its like counting synthetic oil as a mod. honestly i have a touring screen and hardly count that as a mod as it is a Yamaha part. but i did do that after the first thousand and as i have nothing els on the bike, i did vote 1000+.

I actually started modding BEFORE I purchased my bike! I order a fender eliminater kit from ebay!!

same same, before I took delivery I had frame sliders installed - within a week the tank protector, another week rim tape, and then read my signature its all in order in the past 9 months, with the axle oggies last friday night...... just clocking up 5000 k's

on the way home from work last night picked up some motorrad airflow 2 gloves, coming into summer, thought I'd get a headstart

I got my FZ6 in September at 2700 miles and it is went into storage in November at 4200. This is my first bike since childhood dirt bikes so I kind of made myself promise not to do any modding because it is likely going to end up laying on the ground a few times while I figure this out . Mods will likely start this winter with minor things I have issues with, like rear fender eliminator, LED tail light, new front LED blinkers, new rear seat bag.... thats just the start of my list :BLAA:

 

[going going.....gone]

I started modding mine the day I got her back home. Exhaust + decat and power commander 5 and k & n fitted. Oh and tail tidy same time as exhaust and puig screen.

Negative 32.57 miles......lol

I put oggys (frame sliders) and axel oggys on before it left the shop. And when I got home (50km) it got the 2 bros with fe, bar ends, rack, and a few other little bits. I actully had the pipes and rack sitting there for weeks before I bought the bike

Ordered lower fairings the day I bought it. They didn't arrive for a few weeks, and in that time I got an exhaust. I'm counting placing the order as modding, so 0miles, even though I probably had 500 or so before the pieces actually got put on.

Got my bike with sliders mounted already. First thing I did was to shave the rear hugger. Looks way better. Then added a Barracuda windscreen (mine is naked), Tomok-style mirrors (knockoffs), levers (Pazzo knockoffs). Now waiting for FZ1 bars and Racetech springs to come by mail, and planning on brake-lines, LED signals and last item: Two Bros exhaust system with FE included. But not sure about this as it's kinda pricey and also needs a silencer to be legit and nice-sounding.

My first real mods were at about 6000 miles- SW-Motech top rack an Oxford heated grips. My first minor mods were within the first 1000 miles- painted my windscreen, added a 12 volt accessory plug, and a RAM mount for my GPS. I've been hesitant to add sliders to this bike but I think that will be next mod.

After riding it home in the rain after I bought it used I ripped off the fender, shaved my levers, bought new drag bars, bar ends and grips the next day. After two months of owning it I am now officially pissed at how quiet it is so exhaust is next. I can almost not hear the motor at all in town or the freeway with the low noose in my helmet and the wind, soooo frustrating!!

 

[LeaN69]

bought the bike new, first mod was exhaust and that was then there was about 3k miles on the bike.

 

[crowelor]

I bought the bike about 60 miles from my house, the night that I brought it home I installed my Clearwater Glenda lights.

I don't like riding without them because I feel like cars give me more respect and second looks when they are on, so I wanted to get them on as quickly as possible.

 

[Shockwave]

I haven't even bought mine yet and I'm on here trying to figure out what mods I'm gonna do, I know it has gram sliders on it so I think the dual headlight mod will be one of my first. Hoping to pick up my bike this weekend.

 

[shamrocker]

Even though I bought mine used, I had parts waiting at home to install the next day.

 

[CIrrthum10]

I rode mine about 10 miles before i got led signals and a FE to get rid of the big orange blobs for turn signals. Next is the dual headlight mod and maybe a little painting of the front fairing, we will see. I want to add more silver instead of the black

 

[Gelvatron]

I'd like to say 1000 but its only cause I didn't know how or were to get or do mods but I was dreaming about it after the first time I saw it

 

[rumblestrip]

I'm about 1500 in, and planning to get naked conversion kit, but I'm not sure if you'd consider that modding with OEM parts. Might get a buddy to paint the tank & side panels, though. It's nice having friends that work in auto restoration. :thumbup:

Bought the bike used and it came with crash bungs and an official bellypan. Then I added a 33bhp restrictor kit due to uk licensing rules. Single seat conversion/pillion seat cover was next before putting the 1098 exhausts on. Last summer I added a K&N filter and a puig race screen and adjustable levers. Lastly just this week I cut down the 1098 exhausts.

Out of work atm but I would love to put either an S2 swingarm on, get a second subframe so I could cut the pillion pegs off and get them painted black. Then change the forks.

Gotta have something to aim for

Would you have a pic of that single seat, and where you got it? I'm curious. PM is ok by me if you think that might derail this thread.
