Wider mirrors. The standard ones always point at your elbows :lol I think the 1000 mirrors work. A top box is handy especially if you commute. You can upgrade the rear caliper. The standard one needs a lot of maintenance to stop it seizing. Regular cleaning and a set of new seals every few years. I think the 1000 rear caliper can be fitted with a little filing to the mounting bracket. You can probably get a 1000 caliper for the price of a set of genuine seals. A belly pan for looks. Rear hugger. A chain oiler. Sintered brake pads maybe but they'll eat your disc sooner. I've heard of people making quick action throttles. You could change your sprocket sizes for a bit more acceleration.
I keep reading about the rear caliper on the 600 seizing up. I was going to have a closer look at mine as it wasn't too sharp when I was out on it, seemed a bit 'soft' so was going to look at changing the fluid and see if that helped.

I believe the main difference is less maintenance. It's a used part so prices will vary quite a bit. Do a search on here and ebay.
