matches and petrol ;)

only joking :) Depends what you like really, what we think is nice may not necessarily be what you like. So its more of a personal decision.

Myself, i think theres nothing better than a good clean, a few new fairing bolts, a nice well matched exhaust can, braided lines and some carbon bits to tart it up a bit. Dont go for cheap anodised trinkets, it makes a bike look toad to be honest and try not too have too many colours either, it looks busy and cluttered. Too many stickers is another example. The odd, well placed sticker is ok, but its very easy to go too far. Try to match the colours together too, a maximum of 3 or 4 different colours is my advice, frame colour, fairing colour and 1 or 2 other colours that go with those.

Have already ordered stainless fairing bolts might go for the braided lines as mine look a bit boring.
