anybody want to let the world know what cheap/ free mods they have done? can be performance or aesthetic.

things i had in mind were 14t front sprocket (cheap and easy to do), halogen headlight bulb, drill/ cut airbox, tail chop, change brake pads........ those kinda things........ its just most of the things i can think of doing are going to cost me money, so was wondering on the expertise/ experiences of others!

How about swapping Ducati's standard black frame cable zip-ties for a colour that matches the frame colour.

Makes a big (or at least worthwhille :) ) difference, imo.

yep colour coded zip ties,
ditch the mirrors
ditch the indicators
ditch the chain guard
ditch the side panels
ditch the tea tray - chop chop chop
Drill the levers, heat guards for that racer hot rod look
spray or replace the belt covers with 695 versions - the black is cool
Lower the clocks and gauges
powder coat or rattle can everything black that has sucky paint on it
get rid of as much plastic as poss
re-route the wiring to tidy up
14t sprocket without a doubt!
sintered pads

all virtually free or under £25 quid - genius :):):)

i'd agree.. i would not risk weakening one of the weakest link in the chain of stuff that's suppose to stop me hitting a tree.
