Hi, having had some great advice from my initial post above what gear to buy including hand protectors etc I thought I would be bold enough to ask another...

I have noticed you guys mod your bikes, and love talking about it. My bike is totally standard. I use it for a long daily commute, in all weathers, and at the moment do no trailing or off roading. So my question is, what mods can I do to it with commuting in mind? I dont want to mod it for mods sake (plus im not rich) but I am interesting in ways i can mod it with regrds to MPG, rider comfort, less vibration, protection from elements with regrds to fairings etc, anything that will aid my commute, help extend the life of the bike and make it even more of a blinding work horse.

I really am a novice, so please, be as basic as you like!!
