Default Starting to mod need some help!!

Sold my F2 at the end of may and picked up an 07 600 RR white.

Havent been able to put to many miles on her due to work and school, but i want to start modding.

Purchased today competition werkes fender eliminator kit with led brake light

Picking between Yoshi Rs5, scorpion carbon fiber or the laser xtreme?? which do you guys think?

Also thinking about getting rearsets? what are your thoughts here?

Anything else you guys can think of let me know

thanks

hmmm... well then, One out of four aint bad.

Seriously, it's your machine, have fun with it. but those mods are not going to make the bike more comfortable or even more functional in as far as comfort goes. I would go as far as to say you chose the wrong bike for comfort... but hey, to each his own. It's a nice bike

A slip on really is not to helpful... other than weight, fullsystem in the way to go.

Rear sets will put you in a better seating position for out right performance, but will compromise your comfort and to a small extent your safety(your body is more compressed and cramped, hence you cant see as well or react as well to everyday life obsticals)

out of the exhausts you listed i would only pick the yoshimura. I don't like scorpion exhausts, and laser exhausts make **** for power, and i've seen cases of poor craftsmanship on them.
The yoshi would be a nice sounding exhaust, but probably wouldn't be as free flowing as some other companies might be, or as loud. But really, a slipon isn't going to do much for performance so you might as well choose based off looks.

Rearsets, at this point you just have to pick from what's available, i don't know who all is making rearsets for the new 600rr yet. I like Gilles, sato, PP Tuning and woodcraft. Those are some brands you can check out.
If you want to make the bike more comfortable then look at getting different clipons and a sargent or corbin seat.
