    not really familiar with the bike, but i would start at the suspension, talk to jaime daugherty for rear suspenion options, maybe gold vavle emulators for better steering....not sure if F2/F3 front/rear end conversion is an option for you. just to start and search this forum for ideas about customizing...maybe a streetfighter...

    You might keep your eye out for a pair of slip-ons for the exhaust. They come up every now and then on eBay.

    Don't forget that slip-ons cause a loss of power!

    I've done quite a bit with the 500's. Check out my site for details and feel free to shoot my an e-mail if you have any questions.
