Premium Member so1102 Posted April 24, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted April 24, 2015 Welcome! When you get it in, make sure you post some pictures to brag with. That is, of course, unless your username is accurate -- then, it's OK if you don't post pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nakedbiker Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. I've have learned much already through this forum. I love modifying things. From cars to computers and now a motorcycle. But I'll learn to ride first. Will post pics for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no vice, I'm as pure as the driven snow! P2: Yeah but you've been drifting All the gear all the time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Moderator Guru Posted April 24, 2015 Global Moderator Share Posted April 24, 2015 Do you have a modification battle plan? The bike is already pretty awesome out of the box. What are you looking to do first apart from riding & grinning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nakedbiker Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 Do you have a modification battle plan? The bike is already pretty awesome out of the box. What are you looking to do first apart from riding & grinning? Just simple things like LED turn signals and headlight tail tidy. But since talking to my insurance compan. They will cover all my accessories that I get installed in the event of a crash they will replace it all at full retail value of when I bought it. So now I'm thinking an exhaust too. What do you guys think? Good idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member so1102 Posted April 24, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted April 24, 2015 I would upgrade the suspension before I put on an exhaust, but that's just me -- and I appear to be in the minority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member tino206 Posted April 24, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted April 24, 2015 Being you sound like you are just starting to ride, buy a good set of gear (helmet, gloves, pants, jacket). If you spend all the money on making your bike better but only buy cheap gear, you won't be enjoying that bike much after a crash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantheraleo Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Important: Radiator Guard, frame sliders. I upgraded my exhaust and got the EJK from Dobeck (with forum discount) after a month or so. Also, a good helmet can make the wind MUCH better. My Scorpion EXO 2000 really surprised me. O judgment! Thou art fled to brutish beasts, And men have lost their reason. Bear with me. My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar, And I must pause...till it come back to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nakedbiker Posted April 25, 2015 Author Share Posted April 25, 2015 I ordered all my gear already. The frame sliders and rad guard sounds like a god idea. So just wait on exhaust? Just figured this could be used more as a way for others to notice me while I'm on the road for safety. And the awesome sound of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Moderator mjh937 Posted April 25, 2015 Global Moderator Share Posted April 25, 2015 If it was up to me I would spend the money on the suspension instead of the exhaust. The people that are not paying attention probably have their music turned up too loud to hear your exhaust anyway (and they are going to pull out in front of you or change lanes without looking anyway). You just end up p!$$ing off the people who are paying attention with the extra noise you are making. This is my personal opinion only. I am sure others disagree but I am willing to take the heat.

nakedbiker Posted April 25, 2015 Author Share Posted April 25, 2015 how much money are we talking about for the suspension. sorry I haven't looked into this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Moderator mjh937 Posted April 25, 2015 Global Moderator Share Posted April 25, 2015 how much money are we talking about for the suspension. sorry I haven't looked into thisCheck out the supporting vendor area. Forks by Matt and Traxxion Dynamics have good options at various prices. There are also other options talked about in the suspension forum. You will get a great performance upgrade with better suspension. Exhaust is a small upgrade (and often a performance decrease) for the money. Of course if you are just doing it for the sound and looks that is different. I would just rather spend the money to make the bike perform better.

Beemer Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Welcome, 'naked' biker. I must say, good choice on the color, white, it's the classiest color but not the most doppler effective. (inside joke) If I ever see ya passing by don't drop your left hand to wave ... just cover up that rascal and nod. Ha! How much longer do you have to wait on the bike? That waiting has to suck. If you post pictures make sure you take the tank sticker off first or else join the ranks of the "slapped one's". Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nakedbiker Posted April 25, 2015 Author Share Posted April 25, 2015 Thanks Beemer. It should be at the dealership April 30th but then it'll have to be assembled. So ya kinda sucks about the wait but gives me time to get things in order like my gear arriving and getting some more time to practice on my friends ninja 300.
