Superhawk Mods - new suggestions

I'm not looking to dump a lot of $$ (at once). I just bought a blue 2003 bone stock. I think I'd like flush mount signals (front). rear eliminator kit and lower fairing. Any suggestions on brand/where to purchase these? Additional peroformance enhancing options I should consider or add in the near future? Open to suggestions. thanks

hands down, exhaust and an air filter/jet kit is a must. sharkskinz makes a pretty awesome lower fairing. also, there are some pretty cool flush mount turn signals made, i just cant remember the name of the company. if you do some searching on here you can find it though.

As far as cosmetic upgrades, take a look at the Protons or WatsenDesign =LED flushmounts. Both are nice and in the uipper price range. For tail lights, you can do the ebay integrated tail or you can do my LED retrofit mod to the stock tail. Look in the Knowledge Base forum section for the sticky on it. I didn't use any fender elminator kit. Mine is just the stocker trimmed up considerably and then used a hinge to mount the tag so its flippable .

You can see some of the tail in the how-to thread https://www.superhawkforum.com/forum...ad.php?t=15217

I'll try and take some pics tomorrow after I get back from riding.

For any respectable V-twin owner, I would think that a slip-on exhaust should be required.

divingindaytona is an unknown quantity at this point
I vote for an exhaust, and a jet kit.

Let that V-twin, sound like a V-twin

I'm working on my 2005 VTR. I went with Rumble Imports undertail: http://rumbleimport.com/store/rumble...006-p-117.html

Cometition Wekes makes an undertail: http://www.solomotoparts.com/product...7&cat=0&page=1

I'm stuck on whether I want a Jardine or Leo Vince high mount slip on exhaust.

If doggerman's VTR were black, you could make a new version of "Knight Rider".

If u cant afford an exhaust right now than preform a baffle-ectomy, it will sound alot better (over stock) and u shouldnt need a jet kit... and oh ya Its Free!!

I put a lower fairing, rumble imports undertail, and a rear hugger. But by the time you add in paint (you won't find them new in blue) it cost me about $900.
