i like them as standard myself .a few changes are nice i have goodridge braded steel brake lines and a scorpion end can on mine and its painted gloss black with no graphix on it . the new paint job makes it look much better .my bike is restricted to 100 bhp but i entend to fix that as 125 mph is no good to me .i love its power and handling its much better than a 93 cbr900 rr i owned
