2. Front suspension; rebuild the originals or send away to KTech or Maxton to let them put it together with fancy (expensive) internals.
3. Carbon wheels or not? -they will cost more than the bike is worth as it stands but I have always had the view that light weight wheels are the best tuning mod for any bike.
4 depending upon the condition of the bores when I take the heads off - 944cc barrels and pistons
Nitron do reasonably priced shocks somewhere between Hagon and Ohlins and performance wise they're probably as good as Ohlins although I haven't made the comparison directly as I only have Ohlins but if i were looking to replace that I'd probably be looking at Nitron.
