Okay... It's not really new... I bought it last year, but two weeks ago I put on 1 kg Racetech fork springs with heavier fork oil, FZ1 bars, aluminum grips, and bar end mirrors, and mirror block off plates. Now it rides likes like a completely different bike. I'm a big guy, so there's no more front end dive on bumps. The FZ1 bars are so much more comfortable, it's unbelievable. I don't know if it's just me, but the bike corners so much easier now. Not sure if it's the bars or the springs, or maybe both. The mirrors are different and it took me a little bit to get used to them, but I love not having the stock mirros in my main view and I can actually see behind me now without seeing my elbows! After the install the bike sat there for about 2 weeks with snow and ice on the ground. So I finally got to ride it today, and wow, what a difference! It feels like a new bike!
Here are some pics after I drove to work today:
