Other. I would change the chain drive to a belt drive, a wider rear tire would be nice as well as a different seat. Other then that I like it. Well it could be a 1500 or bigger.

Why would you want a wider rear tire ... oh, wait ... you're a cruiser ... never mind ... you don't know the joys of a mountain pass or canyon road

You're priorities are still screwy boy!

Besides they work like CRAP on an old GSX-R. Don't bother.

I didn't realise you couldn't take a cruisers on a cayon pass or a mountain pass. I think taking the bike to it's limits, and your limits, is as much fun no matter what your riding. Take the corners a little slower on a cruiser (which would still be relativly fast) , roll on the throttle and scrape the pegs ... Rushhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! It's even fun on a mountain bike, skate board, street luge, roller blades, Porche 911, Chevette.

Man, I'd change almost everything just for the sake of upgrading, making it different, etc. But seeing that this is my first bike, implying that there will be a second bike in the foreseeable future, I think it's best for me to resist the temptation. For now.

BTW Wider tire= lousy cornering but rock steady in a straightline.

Yep, they take the place of your bar end weights.

I chose other, as I want to get a new exhaust, wheels and a six speed gearbox.

I would change the carb setup to FI, if it were economically feasable, that is. Realistically, I would change the pegs.

I think a cute passanger to rub my shoulders on those longs rides would be nice. And if they made a chrome version of the M50 wheels. I'd probably get them.
