DV. My father has an 800 classic - rock solid and very nimble, but so much more room to stretch out on the Roadie...

Welcome to the clinic Darth. Start off small, and decide where you want to go (classic looks, or stripped down). If you don't find something on the clinic, take lots of notes, lots of pictures, and lots of beers and post what you did on the forums. If your idea is good, Doc will probably put your stuff in the tech articles section. Then and only then will you be a true Sith Lord. LOL. If you haven't already, I personally recommend the stage 3 exhaust mod (use an air chisel if you have one available. Drill bits are expensive. And take off the exhaust as an assembly, cause those mufflers can be a pain to get back on without messing up the seals). I would also recommend the mikuni jet kit over the dynojet kit, but you probably won't need that until you change the airbox to a free flow (A baron's BAK comes with the kit, but it's cheaper to buy a universal k&n cone type and make your own brackets. There's instructions for that somewhere on the clinic). The AIS block off plates are cheap, if your gonna do that. Keep your oil level between the hash marks hot (there's a bulletin out for that). I'm sure I'm missing a few pearls of wisdom, but the best I can think of is "fat chicks cause handling problems". Peace.
