I have done quite a bit already........but the XB needed some more s**t done to an already extensive list. Here is a list of what I had done and a thought as to was it worth it. Muller Power Clutch - If you already dont have one...get one. Next to my Drummer and Race ECM....this is the next best performance mod you can do to your bike. It really does reduce the required effort by atleast 40%. It was worth every penny! Kellermen Front Micro Signals - These little bastards are pricey. They were about $175 for the pair after I bought the relay for them. They are bright, super sleek, and well built. I used to have a pair of small cat eye plastic signals on before. They were bigger than the Kellermens but smaller than the stock signals. I paid $20 for those at a local shop. I like the Kellermens a lot....however I dont think they are worth the money. I am keeping them.....but one could find something just as good for a lot cheaper. Billet Foot Pegs and Levers - I replaced all of my passenger and rider pegs with the billite LSL pegs from American Sport Bike. I also replaced the brake and clutch foot levers. These were a great inprovement. All of the pegs have a nice round feel and super small aggressive knurls for grip......way more grip and more comfortable than stock. The best was the clutch foot lever. It rocks!! It is way more comfortable to shift now. The brake toe lever is the same as the clutch lever. I cant remember the total cost. It was probally more than $200.....but I think it was money well spent! Billet Pulley Cover - It is sleek and sexy. I think I might like the Rizoma or new Drummer version better. But, this piece is still nice. I might paint it flat black to match the bike or I might leave it bare? This was ~$250. If you can find a better looking abd cheaper cover than go for it. I didn't price covers when I was ready to buy this one. I am impartial about this mod as to 'was it worth it'. It was a nice cosmetic touch....maybe too pricey for some. CRG Bar End Mirrors - These things are great!! Way better than the Napolians that they replaced. The Nap's would always lean backwords from the wind. When I would get home I would adjust and retighten. The next ride......same thing. The CRG's are more sturdy, better built, and sleeker. These haven't moved on a ride yet. I think I need to a full season of riding to see if these really are superior. However, so far I think they are. Definately worth the $$!! Billet Oil Dipstick - Yes......get one. It is soo much easier to check your oil. The only thing that I might need to do is paint the stick. The stick is brass. So it is kind of hard to see your level. I might paint the stick flat black. That should make it easier to see. If you have $60 burning a hole in your pocket....buy one. It was $$ well spent. I bought all of this stuff from Al at American Sport Bike. Super guy and very helpful. I still have to finish my open air box and catch can mod. Then I will be finished for a while. If you were contemplating any of these products I hoped this helped! | ||

I've been wondering about that Power Clutch since everybody seems to rave about it. However, I can honestly say I've never had a sore arm from the clutch...am I the only one? | ||

1324 - your not the only one, the only time mine gets sore is when I'm stuck in really bad traffic ( Ie trying get get down main street during bike week) but I am still thinking about doing this mod. Easier pull means faster shifts. | ||
