| HOWDY! My name is phrizzle im 33 and had been riding a Majesty 400 intil it was stolen and i just bought my 04 silverwing used for. $1000. it was in DESPERATE need of paint and minor body work. i decided to PUT HER THROUGH THE FIRE and see how well the insides were.... so long story short she survived a 150 mile round trip with me TRYING to blow her up. got up to speeds a little over 115 mph (indicated by gps) before she started cutting back like d belt was slipping. It took erthing i had to throw at it. she in the shop now getting the works done. new belt. fluids. plugs. brakes tires and custom paint. grand total $2400. i think i got a pretty good deal all in all. i was holding out for the Burgman 650. but after only 2 days on he silverwing i dont see the need to spend all that money for and extra 55cc's that im sure gets canceled out with the added weight. but anyway. any thoughts on performance mods while shes already taken apart in the shop? |

| As for performance mods you could fit Dr Pulley sliders. Lots of post on here about those just try a search. |

| Welcome phrizzle, you'll enjoy it on here. Loads of information to assist in mods and such, just have a mooch through the pictorials, JeffR and a few others have tons of useful guides. |

| Welcome to the forum and congratulations on the Wing! Sounds like a good deal. In addition to those listed above; perhaps you should look into a Leo Vince exhaust for your beast! |
