Hi Guys,
First service is out the way, 940 miles on the clock and bike is now at a state where i thought i’d share some pics. Cheers to the forum for inspiration, info and helping with decisions on which mods to make!
I have really enjoyed riding and modding the bike!
So far….
• Yamaha OEM tracer heated grips & rad side guards
• Akro ti carbon tip underslung exhaust (mt07 version)
• Evotech: shorty levers, tail tidy, rad guard, fork bungs & swing arm bobbins (sharpie’d out the branding)
• LSL Superbike Fat Alu T6 (LSL128AX01D) (ground locating pins off controls & I much prefer position & handling! (for me the best mod by far))
• Pyramid rear hugger (it makes a huge difference in wet!)
• Rizoma: crash bungs (PM213a), Spy R 80mm (LP200 adapters) and I will soon fit the CT025b rear brake fluid pot (& pot bracket CT455)
• Motogadget blaze pin indicators (front & rear) with relay change
• 8x6 number plate with black back (smaller but still looks legal)

• Ebay mirror hole plugs
**(Excuse the model numbers I’m an IT techie by trade)
At this point its worth noting that I fell in love with the classic forest ‘british racing’ green look hence unless i decide to get radical in a few years i’ll be sticking with stock colour.
Also love the shape of the stock bike and with the exception of the custom yard builts (for which I don’t have the budget or mechanical know how) I’m not into the stock short seat variants of the XSR (although are still cool!!). Plus girlfriend enjoys riding pillion and we’ve some touring planned hence the long seat and pillion pegs will stay
Philosophy of build so far has been practicality and attention to detail. Really just trying to make an awesome bike better.
With the exception of a black Givi Trekker Outback box for when touring, at this point i think I’m about done (while i let the bank balance recover)
Possible ideas for the future include:
• Black Pillion Pegs, or sliver and Alu Side panels?
• Fork gaiters and black vinyl wrap top of forks? (would have done this but means dropping out forks and dealer had already built up bike by the time gaiters arrived

) plus in the right light i like the silver forks.
• Upgraded headlamp bulb?
• Forest Green paint on headlamp surround front ring?
• Billet sprocket cover (has anyone fit this?)
• Acquire a second seat and re-trim with cafe inspired shape (colour ideas? - guys at dealership thought grey/silver seat?) - anyone have a second seat they’d sell cheap?
• Stripes on mudguards to match tank?
• Remove DB killer, DNA air filter, stage 2 airbox cover and ecu re-flash
Any questions, comments or idea’s welcome.
Thanks
Geoff
