Hey, not new to bikes or forums, but new to Triumphs.

I started young racing dirtbikes, moved on to a Hawk GT, raced that and a SV650s, 900RR, M900... Got old and moved to a Mean Streak. I just needed to get back to something more sporty and picked up an '06 Sprint ST ABS in red today. Only about 12K, but has been sitting under a cover outside for 2 years and not stored properly. Same oil, gas, coolant, etc. Chain is rusted, brake lever is bent, brake pedal is bent into the frame, battery dead, right side barend loose, chrome accent piece loose and engine cases are oxidized. BUT, everything else looked good and the price was right.

Planning on just taking her to the stealership to make sure everything is good and for a full service. I've read a ton about the bike and can't wait to ride it! I'll post pics later.

Stealership is the right term, but sometimes they can be helpful.

So now mods... I know the routine of me posting this and people telling me that I should search first... Well, I gotta say that it's tough only using an iPhone... so....

1. Which risers/bars work best or are the most popular here? Genmar/Heli bars?
2. Headlight upgrade? HID Kits?
3. Rear fender eliminator?
4. Mirror plugs/flush mount signals? I'm going to go bar end mirrors... Rizoma/CRG/Arrow....
5. Hard side bags... I hear stock ones leak... Is Givi the only option?

I can't go to classifieds yet I guess...

Oh and I forgot to add windshield...

And rear sets.

Here are pics of the bike when I went to take a look... rusted chain, dead battery, oxidation on the engine cases, bent brake lever, scratches on the right mirror, bar end, chrome trim, foot brake lever bent into the frame.
