After being inspired in many ways by this forum I have finally decided to start my build thread. First, I would like to say thank you to the following members whom inspired me; I appreciate their continuing help throughout, and not just with regards to the modification aspect but riding and other things as well. Ryan (Ry6rr), Swan-rr5, Dave (CBRTime), Misti Hurst, Moeman, 1/4milemilecrazy, SuuScbr and .b0link.
I bought the bike with a Two Brothers Carbon fibre Black Series slip on in addition to RR frame sliders which I was told are made by Honda.

The sliders were not bad, but due to the high mounting points they didn't save the lower part of the bike as much as I would have liked.
I have low sided twice so far and looking to keep that number constant, one on each side and attached are pics of the damage for reference.
I also removed the passenger pegs, but I am considering putting the right footpeg back on to provide a bit of protection to the brake reservoir in the case of an accident.

I purchased Tripage's STD light with integrated tail lights and the fender eliminator; I have yet to receive them. Hopefully it won't be too long now.
I don't like the fact that the exhaust isn't perfectly in line with the tail and Ihave seen many bikes with different exhausts suffering from the same problem.

I plan on removing the lower heat shield to reveal the midpipe when the Tripage light is here so it can be a one time job.

I added stickers to increase HP throughout major points on the bike and will be removing some since the power is just too much to handle at this point. Also the NBA reservoir sock allows the bike to make sudden surges when needed.

Just so you know this will not be one of those lightning fast threads where a new part arrives every 5 days and is installed in 30 mins followed with instant pics. My mods will be well thought off and I will take my time and hopefully exercise enough discipline to make the best choices for my bike and myself.
