FZ-07 owners are motorcycle enthusiasts that love to customize and upgrade their rides. New owners looking to alter their bikes often find themselves at a loss as to where to begin, due to a wide array of aftermarket options. Either they’re suggesting performance upgrades like exhaust systems or ECU flashes, or some comfort mods like seats and handle bar adjustments. Another camp advocates for having the bike stock, at least at first, in order to take in the entire original design. The debate around what is an 'essential' mod covers a range of elements of motorcycle ownership, from performance gains to aesthetics, comfort improvements and even factors influencing the resale value of a bike. This is one of those questions that tends to spark a pretty lively discussion about how to balance the bike's strengths while improving the perceived weaknesses and overall philosophy of motorcycle customization.
