$30 throttle spacers
$35 14t front sprocket

Period.

Each gear is poised right where you want to be in the powerband. When it's time to change out the chain or I get bored I'll do the full conversion and +1 in the rear as well but for now, for $35, it absolutely cannot be beat.

Are these your only mods? Or they are the best out of the list of things you've already done?

 

[Kevin.H]

The best I suppose. Everything else has been aesthetic.

FEK
Mirror block offs
Grips
DP comfort seat (for sale)
Lights



Looking at the bike without the fender makes a world of difference but as the rider, the things I most appreciate from the cockpit are the throttle spacer, the sprocket and the mirror removal.

I have yet to install the spacers that I have received but replacing the stock levers with Pazzo "shorts" was a significant "functional vs aesthetic" improvement for me so far.

 

[SixShock]

which sprocket kit did you use Kevin?

 

[Kevin.H]

No kit, just a 520 14t front I grabbed from duc Omaha (motospecialties). Although **** me, I should have hit up our local vendor. I suck.

When I do a full conversion I'll research more appropriately but for Now this sufficed.

Spacers made an awesome difference and looking forward to changing the front sprocket (-1F) this week.
Both are considered high value mods.

Sorry for thread jacking

@foxriderry, is your DP comfort seat still for sale? I'd PM you but don't yet have the required minimum number of posts!

just did the throttle spacers yesterday, took 15 mins... haven't tested it out yet...

 

[YukonLT]

Just ordered the throttle spacers myself, interested to see the result.

would go for a ride today but I find myself riding the scrambler more and more..

I just did a 14T front sprocket on my 2016 Monster 1200R. I can't believe I waited ~3K miles before doing this mod, it's that good. Can people please share their experiences regarding a 14T front sprocket on a 959? I do street riding (no track). Thanks
