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)
