Currently it has:
- A nice set of rearsets with re-located brake master cylinder.
- Uprated battery cables
- A fair bit of carbon, although not all of it good.
- A terrible hydrodipped tank (carbon look)
- A terrible black screen
- A Miiiv Shorty can
- A added on gear indicator
- Converted to take a pillion
