I just recently picked up a 2012 FZ8. Just like many other things I own, I can't seem to keep them stock. This looks to be the case with most people on here. So tell me what your favorite mod is and why! I bought the bike used and already have an HID Retrofit, rear spools, and a fender eliminator kit.

Center stand or rear stand - not having to roll the bike around a parking lot to oil the chain is awesome. Same goes for oil change. You don't have to straddle the bike for the oil to drain.

Better seats - your nuts and ass will thank you for it.

Windscreen - less wind/bugs on highway goes splat on you

Airbox mod, AIS block off, slip on exhaust, PCV - bike will growl like a hungry beast.

It really depends on what your going to be using the bike for. Local commutes or longer rides. You cant go wrong with anything thach mentioned above...I would include bar end mirrors. I have crg mirrors, expensive but alot easier to see with bar ends :)

So far I have:

pitbull forward rear stand, front stand.
Yamaha Center Stand for shock changes.
Juice Box pro.
Motodynamic Intergrated Tail light with LED front blinkers.
Evotech Fender Eliminator
Evotech Radiator guard
Rizoma Clone mirrors
Driven Grips
2013 Adjustable FZ8 forks
BKMoto HID Kit
Penske 8975 rear shock
Yamaha Sliders
Yoshi R77
Shorty levers
out of those things the best upgrade has to be the Penske shock. It has taken the bike to the next level and honestly feels like a much better bike.

I forgot to mention that I also have an 07 FZ1 rear shock and yoshimura frame sliders. I think for me a small windshield, a rear stand and possibly a slip on exhaust maybe be next! Keep the suggestions coming!!

Once I eventually get a rear tire stand that will probably be it. Rolling a bike a few feet, spraying, rolling some more....is getting old real fast.

The alternative would be my axio tailbag. Makes daily riding so much better, and doesn't look like a milk crate tossed on the bike. Nice low profile, adequate storage, and I got it for a hell of a price

I love my re-gear. On the flipside, I ride about 8 miles to work so it's not really a commute, I just like to play a lot.

Without a doubt, my most useful mod is the integrated gear indicator. Works perfect and it's so nice knowing what gear I'm in.

So far the most useful mod, my Targa tank bra, keeps me from scratching the tank
my favorite has been my sequential tail light by Motodynamics

I just bought an OXFORD brand rear tire stand from the local bike shop...it was only 59$ CDN and it's awesome...no complaints at all :) I was looking at much more expensive ones online, but am glad I didn't go that route!
