Like any rider, I've performed a few modifications on my bike.  It's still a new bike to me though, so I try not to do anything that I can't easily undo.  Here's a few things I've done.

T-Mod
Carb vent line mod.  The idea here is to prevent the bike from drowning in deep water.
cig_lighter.jpg (57948 bytes)
12v Power Outlet 
Mounted with black plastic bolts and plugged it into the unused power leads up front.  Almost looks factory.
gps.jpg (55748 bytes)
Garmin GPS V
Find my way home from the middle of nowhere.

Mud Flap
Protects rear shock.  Made it myself from rubber sheet.
trunk.jpg (50734 bytes)
JC Whitney Trunk
Holds more than it looks like, and a real bargain too.
trunk_mount.jpg (56423 bytes)
Trunk Mount
This is the mounting plate that comes with the JC Whitney trunk.  Most folks mount these things further back, but I like mine where it is.  Cut the toolkit hole with my Dremel tool.
brake_guard.jpg (62300 bytes)
Brake Guard
Just looks too vulnerable without it.  Got this one from Dual-Star.
tall_windshield.jpg (65104 bytes)
Tall Windshield
I only use it in winter to keep cold air off my chest.  If it's not cold I prefer the stocker.
kick_guard.jpg (52132 bytes)
Kickstand Guard
For some reason, my bike was missing this little plastic thingie.  I didn't even realize it until I saw a 2004 model with it.
tag_mount.jpg (36571 bytes)
Raised Tag Mount
Tire could hit the tag if not mounted high like this.
oil_screen.jpg (36532 bytes)
Oil Screen Cleaned
This little gizmo had a lot of trash on it.  After cleaning (see Mark's page), my bike seems to run cooler.
bearing_oring.jpg (59870 bytes)
Wheel Bearings
The stock wheel bearings are unsealed.  I replaced them with sealed bearings, and added an o-ring here on the left rear wheel hub to help keep dirt out.
