I wanted to get it set up for comfort before making meager yet expensive improvements to the beast of an engine. I'm in college so I don't quite have ton's of disposable cash....it's enough to pay the payments on the bike and insurance in addition to my other bills.

Next on my list to get is a Chrome radiator cover and helmet locks, then Air intake, and chrome engine covers.

But thats for the future, right now I'm having enough trouble getting new tires and brakes.

Course if I had thousands to blow I'd be getting a dual air intake (one aire intake on each side of bike) as opposed to the single right side intake stock, Custom Paint (I already have my paint scheme in mind), among other things like new pistons, ported heads with oversized valves, and so forth. Unfortunately for me...I don't have thousands in disposable income :(

But if I did have 6k in disposable cash to dump into the X, I could bump the stats up from about ~100hp ~105 tq to 147hp and 144tq....hmmm maybe it would just be cheaper to add a turbo....oh better yet imagine a turbo on top of those mods! Okay...I'm a dreamer.

I really like the tail lens cover. Good looking bike.

The Starfleet thingy begs the question, wouldn't it have been more appropriate to have purchased a Yamaha Star or, better yet, a Kawasaki Vulcan?

Excellent point. Like a Vulcan's ears. Live long and prosper.

I'd rip off a reply in Klingon, but I can't find the character set in my computer files, so...
