Hi,
Budget has kept my mods to a relative minimum, but to be honest, I can't think of anything I really want to do that I haven' already. That is:
Dave Lambeth bash plate (circa £110)
SW Motech centre stand (circa £90)
Acerbis 23 litre tank (£200)
Renthal bars (£30?)
Sheepskin seat cover (made from rug bought on ebay - £12)
I also have alloy boxes (Alpos, a bit under £400, including touratech rack) and a peli top box with home made rack (circa £40).
Apart from the luggage, my favourite mod is the tank, followed by the sheepskin. The bars are pretty much a necessity if you sometimes stack your bike (on or off road) as the standard ones are made of old shower rails.
Interestingly, I asked Dave Lambeth about uprating my rims and he reckoned that the standard steel rims are fine for normal adventure biking. The steel makes them easier to fix in the back of beyond too.
Matt
