One could start by stating priorites. Are you looking for handling? Braking? Acceleration?

Handling: Spring Strut upgrade, RSB, FSTB. Tires.

Braking: Big Brake Kit.

Acceleration: NOS, Headers, B-Pipe, GAB.

Checkout the forum, lots of good information here.

Here's my suggestion:

As you have donated to the site, you have the ability to search. Use those terms in your search and do some research.

HA HA, yea I have a 2000 CBR 929RR if I really want to go fast, No car that I could ever realisticly buy could touch it. I just want to do some things to my car myself. I take more pride in things that way... guess I'm just different.

None of these are difficult mods, I know I can do these and more. He never stated his mechanical ability so I just offered what I thought were easy mods.

So, in closing, just browse around, use the search feature under those terms, and just educate yourself on performance based mods.
