Default New 07 650r owner from HI

Aloha everyone! I have been riding a 04 250 ninja for the past two years and just sold it to upgrade to a 07 650r ninja!!! Im so excited about it and cant wait to make her "mine." I have a lot to learn about this bike and im already thinking of the mods i plan to do. This is the mods i want address:

-change handle bars: either Sport Bars or DIY clip ons.
-power commander: either juice box or TFI
-exahust: DanMoto slip on
-snorkle delete, increase air flow to air box / high flow intake filter.
-rear fender delete

If you guys have any suggestions or are able to help suggest, guide or point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated!

Mahalo

Welcome to the forums. We were in Hawaii in late July, our first time there, what a great place. We stayed in Kona and drove over to Hilo. I want to go back already.

Welcome, Ans. Just tossing this out....you might want to just ride your new bike for several months before you start thinking mods. I speak from experience...sometimes mods need to "emerge" as you get to know a bike, and can be completely different than what you had originally planned. If you jump in from the get-go, your budget is gone for the suspension, tire/wheel, or performance mods that are screaming for upgrade. Same goes for the OE setup; it can be an "A-ha!" moment when the handlebar, chassis, etc. setup is a "THAT's why they did this!" True, most stockers are a compromise by design and can benefit from a tweek. Just take your time. (Not trying to get all preachy here; sorry.)
Welcome to the forums. Post up some pics of your new ride!!!
