Default tell me about your 500r

So how have you customized your 500r? It seems everyone changes something on there
bike that makes it there very own one of a kind ride. Myself I went nuts and changed everything.
1 footpegs
2 handlebars
3 exhaust
4 turn signals
5 grips
6 pulled decals
7 added mid-panels
8 dark tinted windshield
and Istill want a solo seat cowl.

So tell me about your 500r or better yet lets see some pictures of your bike.

Meet Gumby:

~Race Tech Fork Springs and Cartridge-Emulators (the springs are worth it, but the emulators not-so-much, IMO.)
~Works Performance Rear shock
~Mirrors from 2002 ZX9R (See above)
~Fairing and cowling lined with sound-absorptive foam to quell the engine noise (Most guys get louder exhaust pipes to drown out the mechanical noise, but I prefer a quieter bike.)

~And of course my beloved TourMaster Cortech Sport bags (on Gumby's predecessor, Lolita):

Peace.
