framesliders, and ss brakelines to start out with, then you might want to change the gearing, exhaust, pc, and cosmetic goodies.

I wouldn't waste the money on rear SS line kit. I never use mine enough to even get any small amount of fade. but they look nice

Here is my advice: Don't spend a dime on any bike upgrades.

Upgrade the rider and take your bike to the nearest track for a track day. You will get more performance, speed, and confidence from just one day on the track than any mod you can do to the bike. Trust me on this.

If you're really set on bike mods, buy the Shogun crash kit. It comes with frame sliders, swingarm sliders that double as spools for a rear stand, and bar end sliders. The best $100 you'll spend on the bike.

Forget the rear SS brake lines - do the front brake lines. I bought the Galfer front lines and pads - no complaints here.

Michelin Pilot Power - Buy a set. STG is a sponsor of SBN and their prices on PP tires are pretty good.

Vortex Rearsets - get the adjustables

Pazzo levers - get the shorty's

Proton Flush mounts - they are internally balanced so while they will blink a lil faster, they don't require resistors. High Tech Speed - Technology for your Motorcycle and Car

Oh, install all of your own parts and do your own mods. You'll learn a lot about your bike.

You'll wanna fix that seat if you plan on riding more than 10 minutes at a time.

Nothing wrong with the seat - perfect on the track, and good on the street. Matter of fact, my wife (who also rides an 05 600RR) and I rode 300 miles round trip (no stops except gas) to Daytona last weekend. No complaints whatsoever - that seat is pretty comfy - ya just gotta get used to it.

Keep it stock, with the exception of frame sliders.

You don't need a fender eliminator or flush turn signals. Most of them look like ass anyway. Upgrade your skills as previously mentioned.
