I bought the bike to ride, not pose on ( I bought a silver one, after all). Any modifications should enhance my riding experience, so...

narrower bars (fitted)
exhaust (fitted)
front fork upgrade. As money is no object, a set of Ohlins USD forks. Brake calipers to suit - I'm not too bothered about radial calipers, if I can pull a stoppie with the standard brakes they're powerful enough.
rear shock. Ohlins to match the front
one of crashmasterd's analogue instrument clusters. Glad I'm not the only one who thinks that digital readouts have no place on a motor vehicle

Perhaps after spending all that I could still stretch to a respray. Black looks good...

Money no object? Michael Jordan has the right idea for riding fast. For a poor working-class rat like me, the S3 is perfect as is.

I would buy three different Confederate bikes and put Truiumph stickers on them!

Here's what I might do...

I would like a 250/300 series rim and tire.

Chrome both wheels.

Devil exhaust carbin fiber is on the way.

A possible repaint in a year or two candy apple green or hunter green.

Possible supercharger to wake the bike up a little more.

Belly pan
radiator/oilcooler covers
bar end mirrors
new grips
more comfortable seat.

and a hot 24 year old on the back.

What? That's not a factory option?

I have:
Arrow pipes
PCIII
Bar end mirrors

I'd like:
Brembo radial master cylinder and brake calipers
Ohlins USD forks and rear shock
Forged wheels
Lightened/balanced/blueprinted flywheel and other reciprocating mass
Full Ti exhaust
Carbon fiber front fender and rear hugger

The post above which went into detail on internal "massaging" of the engine has me highly intrigued; I wonder what those mods would cost and how they would affect reliability.
