1. Connect unused turn signals bulbs for additional brake lights, redesigned red housing eliminated clear ones and signals are now amber on posts.
2. Filter inside air box is 1/3 the size of box, all the other space is blanked off go to something like a K&N.
3. Better lower exhaust. Upswept desigh causes saddlebag problem.
4. Tach speedo change. Chinameter sucks and it currently has no tach.
5. Open up,hinge the huge plastic cavity between seat and steering. This could have been a flat floor bike but designers were looking for a sportsbike look. I see it as an excellent place for GPS and a custom cup holder, additional light switches.
6.Scrappy variator and assess roller weights. Bike accelerates to 30 to 35 too fast, would rather have a constant pull up to 45 and hold speed better on one of the hills here.
7. CDI change and go to manual choke.Rejet once all this is done.
8. bigger turn signal lenses on rear, don't like the little rubber posts they are mounted on.
9. Finish fab mount for box on back It currently has the one that will not accept a box.
10. Change foot stirrup position.
11. Better tires.

Man, don't ask me for advice.....I can't shut up. My kids and wife won't listen to me so this is an outlet! ;D OK, money is no object, take that off the table so we can have fun.

• 4: Get a Trail Tech mega speedo/tach/gps/orbital velocity/head temp/body temp/MRI machine. They do everything and they look cool, just ask sprocket, he has a lead that plugs into his forehead.
  
• 11: Better tires, get the great big fat ones with chrome wheels, whitewalls too.
  
• 2: The Chinese made that huge airbox with the little filter to smuggle stuff into the country. Use a tupperware container and drill a few holes...see my thread.
  
• 3; Do exhaust like a Vulcan Nomad, you could actually have a saddlebag bigger that a talking Elmo
  
• 5: Huh?
  
• 6: Scrap the Scrappy...agreed
  
• 7: CDIs are a scam, they don't do anything different. I like the manual choke idea. Add a jet, it makes it go faster.
  
• 10: You have stirrups on your bike? Kinky there Roy Rogers
  
• Rewire all lights so they blink constantly, Christmas is just around the corner.
  
• Make sure you take some pics! Rich
