    Greetings fella, lovely bike the 929, had one myself.

    What sort of mods you want to do? Aesthetic, performance or both?!?!

    Things I did to my 929:
    - fitted tail-tidy (smartens up the rear a little)
    - fitted Oxford Eyeshot nano LED indicators (much better looking than those enormous standard ones)
    - fitted HEL braided brake lines (made a MASSIVE improvement to the braking... looks like you're still on the standard lines, which at 13 years old, will be in need of replacement!)

    Welcome. Have a look at Lambchops' bike if you want to see modding of an older Blade.

    My thoughts exactly......that's a big power jump in one go, take it easy indeed. Welcome and keep it upright, don't let it run away with you..
