In a recent thread I wrote how much I enjoyed my bikes virtually completely stock (my modifications are just a riser for the stock backrest, seat pad and a Tbox for the 650). I met with some resistance to this stance from the Mods, or Moders (those who like to modify their bikes in my vernacular). its understandable for someone who's spends a lot of time and money perfecting their bike to extol the virtues of their efforts to someone such as myself, a "stocker", as I'm not experienced with them. I rather enjoy the information.
In my responses I noted that Mods may have undue influence, especially to newbies, as they're always writing in about the new performance enhancement they've done. While we Stockers don't much add to a conversation other than, "I rode today". Yes the Stocker position gets very little face time on the board.
So I propose, if you're a Stocker, this is a good opportunity to speak up and say so. Perhaps say why you enjoy the Burgman just the way Suzuki designed it.
If you're a Moder, what is the one mod you couldn't live without? What is the most important item you can change on a Burgman that would really give a Stocker food for thought? Something that really enhances the bike, with few downsides.
FYI, this is meant to be a pleasant, informative discussion. I'm NOT trying to pit one group against another. The title is purely for humorous affect; a play on words as it were.
