Include Pics if you have them. If you have made no mods Why?

I am still changing, adding or modifying things so a couple more weeks and i hope to have it the way i want. Cheap free and easy are good!

I bought heated grips, cig lighter and usb supply, charging LED, fork gaiters last year to put on, still not done. Just lazy. Got a IXIL exhaust, large Givi screen, hand guards, handlebar brace and 2 x ram mounts, 42L Givi topbox and rack and battery charging lead. Should put the Thermoscud on this week.

Two small squares of insulating tape over the running light connectors on the dual filament indicator bulbs.
Cost approximately nothing.

And invalidated your insurance.

So much high handed pontification and then you do this

Truly shocking isn't it.

I'm not sure how taping over a connector, perhaps to shield it from weather, invalidates insurance. Did I miss something? It doesn't say tape over the lights.

Jesus H Crist.

Taped over to disable them is was I believe is the case. In terms of insurance, if lights are fitted, at least in the UK, they must work or it's an MOT failure / police can give you points.

Where is the best place to get 13g rollers? I think I read that they are one of the best cheap mods. I have to change my worn belt so I thought it would be a good time to change those as well.

No mods to my bike yet apart from when I bought the bike it had a givi mid size screen fitted. No performance improvements planned but like to see what others are up to. I have a volt meter,tacho,water temperature gauge and a cigarette lighter socket to install but no garage and had the seasonal sprinkling of snow. Enjoy tinkering but for every gain there must be a loss. I like the current honda developed set up but each to their own.

I've fitted a negative camber mudflap and a high compression headlamp bulb to great effect.

How much did you pay for the flap, got a link?

Thank you for the clarification. Agreed, probably not a good idea.

Heated grip kit. Relativly easy installation, I was even able to reuse the original grip. I added a handlebar mounted switch and a relay to power them directly off the battery and only on while running. Total cost installed by me about $65. A nice addition in any climate where your hands may get chilly.

Actually its a really good idea this side of the pond.
Orange running lights are very unusual here, UK law actually prohibits them.

Er, no

Well, I was going to post a few things the OP would probably have been interested in but this thread has been taken off track already. Maybe next time.

sendler, please don't quit on posting here. myself and I'm sure others are interested. Please tell us what you did.
(can we stick to the topic? At least this one, for now?

I have a set of Michelin City Grips, a Screaming Banchee horn, and other bits to get installed. In spring.

As I've for the new 2015 PCX - is this your Forza? If it's UK spec, why would it come with illegal lights?

"Cheapest" mods ... pretty much all of them in Thailand. I have done both cosmetic (plastics, mirrors, seat, grips, running boards) and mechanical (shocks, variator, tires) mods. The only things I paid a 'rest of the world' price for was the Givi box and digital speedometer (still to be installed).
