    I got the same problem... I have peices/parts from all the various bikes I've owned laying all over my garage.

    I think the mods list that everyone seems to be doing is, air filter, exhaust, power commander 3, windscreen, frame/axle sliders, BLINKERs???, sprocket change over, and I think thats most of it!

    I have the Evo airfilter and have noticed a smoothing of fuel/throttle control but no noise difference. Other than that, its bone stock.. Although I'm getting close to doing something. Especially the windscreen!

    Which are you doing?

    I'm doing the ermax pretty sure, although I do like the taller factory aprilia one.

    Pretty sure about the Aprilia tall screen. I keep looking at it and its starting to grow on me.

    Also thinking of replacing the rear brake rotor with the black fully floating rotor that AF1 sells???.. I emailed them asking their opinion on it and they seem to like it fine.

    Ebay had a set of Leo slip-ons for $350.00 buy it now but they were rashed from laying over. Just rashed but I'm thinking what would a Aprilia Factory look like with rashed cans... Ok, head out of my ass...

    Look into the akras/aprilia ones at the dealership, they have good prices on it.
