Default One thing you'd change about your bike? (old thread revisited)

Mine would be the weight. 430lbs. dry is just too much, IMO. The styling is pretty dated as well, but that's about 4th on my list of things I'd change. What about your bike? What's the ONE thing you'd change if given the chance?

It would have to be the weight. Drop 20 to 40 lbs and it would be a totally different monster. Then I wouldn't need the tiller for the twisties

Followed closely by the limp dick headlight. I don't know why it bothers me so

The weight on my TLR ........ go on a diet. I already changed out most of the other stuff. New age fuel injection would hurt either.

Other than the planned changes to the clip-ons(risers NEEDED) and a taller windscreen.....no changes needed, it's a Mille!

I'd like a little more comfort. Slightly higher bars and lower footpegs.

On my bike.........When I woke up and walked outside to clean her, I would like to lift up the trunk and see my lisecense sitting there If that is not not considered a change than I would....

On my 929RR, prolly the size of the tank.. Since I'm small, kinna makes the reach even further. The F3, I'd put it back to original condition. The person who owned it before, tried to "Euro" it, and hacked the tail.....
