Well, as soon as I save up my money, I think the Spiegler USA handlebar conversion kit will be my best non-performance upgrade mod. But that is just my .02.
Currently, I have Sargent seat, Arata rearset, Puig DB, Ebay shorty levers, HRC Honda Racing reservoir covers (comfy on my eyes) and KR Tuned slip-on (more for the comfy sound on my ears than performance, but I heard they are one of the best).
Soon, I will be adding my Dunlop Q3's (190/55). We shall see how much better it is than the 180/55 on currently have.
I really like the gear indicator I installed on my 05. On a mountain back road such as the Snow Bowl Road near Flagstaff, there are some tight twisties, double apex sweepers and short straights, so I often reference what gear I'm actually in. I had a crash once on another bike getting the wrong gear at the wrong time....ouch!!!
Vortex and Woodcraft rearsets, Energy seat, ASV shorties, all help me with ergonomics on this bike. My other mods are performance and aesthetics. Tinkering with the adjusters on the levers and rearsets get it dialed in.
^^^ Move your elbow out and look UNDER your upper arm. That's what I do.
