You'll bve surprised at how heavy those grab handles are.Nice! I threw on my sliders from oesaccessories yesterday (ditto on first mods). Got the same bike, may copy cat on the removal of the pillion handles/foot pegs.
Why go back to stock?
Make things a bit easier on my wife to learn and I'm starting to think about trading her in for something a bit more touring oriented or lighter.
So basically if the wife can and like riding, we will get a FZ07 for her. If not, FJR so we can both ride comfortable. She's finishing school next month... looking forward to normal life. It's been a long 4 years.

ZX6R Mirrors arrived in the post yesterday, installed them lastnight and rode to work in heavy traffic this morning, the visibility didn't take long to get use to after finding the right positioning. They do a lot for the look of these bikes imo.

So I finally got my first set of new tires yesterday after riding about 2,000 miles on the tires that the previous owner had worn hideously flat. I went with the Pirelli Angel STs, and WOW. Not only do I get a lot more feedback from the road, which makes me feel more in control, but the lean into corners so easily! I have only ridden about 3 miles with them home from the shop, and slowly, but I live on top of a hill with a windy road up there, and I repeatedly started to lean too much because I'm used to having to wrestle with that flat spot to get it to lean in. This is going to be GREAT.

Yesterday we rode to Mt. Washington, NH. The trip took us all together 9.5 hours, was about 280 miles. Had lots of fun, but my back is starting to really bother me while riding. Have to consider having somebody take a look at it.
Anyway, I bought an Airhawk 2 (11"x9") air seat pad before the trip since I knew I can only ride for about 4 hours before my butt is toast. They promised it would double my ride time, and it definitely did. I was comfortable for 8 hours and even after that the end of the ride was not the numbing painful hell it usually is. (Apart from my back, that is) I would definitely recommend the Airhawk 2 if anybody wants to put something on their bike that is very helpful, fairly affordable and can be put on/removed easily.
I'm thinking if we are really going to ride to my sister-in-law's wedding in October (to Pennsylvania), I should probably invest in a touring windshield. Less fatigue.
I attached a combo picture of us on the Mountain, the last time we were there in 2006 we had cruisers and our gear was not much to talk about. Except the helmets, they looked way cooler then I don't think I look too much different, but I have to say that Kris has found an excellent way to combat helmet hair!
