BEST Modifications for the Thundercat
Feel free to post up a picture too.
The order doesn't matter and I'm sure we all won't agree but here goes
1. Braided Brake lines (If you are supposed to replace the original ones every 4 years then why not just replace with these and forget about them) - I've got HEL ones - other makes are available.

Best mod, but I'd not seen done, would be to improve the headlight on the 'Cat. I remember there was a spate of people fitting HID bulbs but can't remember the success rate or reviews. Must be my age!

Re: BEST Modifications for the Thundercat
Decent tyres. I have fitted a front d209 qualifier to replace the old outdated d207 which has transformed the feel from the front of the bike as well as my confidence.

Re: BEST Modifications for the Thundercat
I'm surprised no one has mentioned taking that original exhaust off and replacing it with a lighter and louder one. I changed my spark plugs to NGK Iridiums and put k-n air and oil filter.
