Here is the path of mods I would consider on a MC, which by the way wife wants one

*Definetely Aero Kit
*If you like chrome, a lot of chrome, if you don't like chore, a lot of dechroming.
*nowadays you can put your hands on a SS suspension for less than $200.00 including springs, which will give you the extra edge, I would consider just the shocks and spice them with some low mileage lowering springs.
*A rear sway bar, you do not need the most expensive one.
*A nice set of wide 15s or 16s with wide tires
*CAI, exhaust

Except the Aero Kit, everything is reasonable as far as the prices are concerned.

One beautiful thing about the MC, it is less vulnerable, and yet as much fun as the S. On the other side, would I buy one, who knows, maybe I would...
