and definitely more mid range now you have a proper air box fitted.....

main mod to do is the side stand

after that, rear shock imho - along with getting the shock/front forks serviced and properly set up

after that... well - you have all sorts of options

main thing is to make it your bike and too have fun with it

you already have the faster colour

Sidestand - going to order the new 06 Blade stand this week, but I read on another post that the Hayabusa stand fits directly as well?

Shock - Is already a Mille yellow spring unit, the suspension feels great apart from a tendency to get a bit jiggly on poor road surfaces in a straight line. One of the plans is to get the suspension set-up professionally for me.

Need to get some luggage to fit so I can run to work on it, fit a larger battery then just keep looking for some nice add-ons as I go.

Awesome to ride, loving every minute of it - and you can certainly feel the added pace of it being a black bike!

Oh, now that you mention battery: Check for sufficient charging - should be getting close to (or above) 14 V measured across the battery terminals when idling with lights off; the dash display can read up to 0.5 V lower. If not, two wires (or more) should be added between the reg/rect. and the battery: http://www.apriliaforum.com/forums/show ... es-Like-ME!

....... but DON'T do that mod if your bike doesn't need it. Few of them do and you risk overcharging if you do the mod unnecessarily.
