l am a locksmith from London who has a '06 650. The only mods are cutting 3inchs off the handlebars so it fits in my bike shed ( built in 1953, shed not bike) , yes l know its sacrilage but it has to be done. l also drilled a hole in the carrier to fit a top box l had laying around, yes l know its sacrilage but you cannot see the hole with it on!!. l use the bike for everything, including lugging tools and collecting locks which weigh a ton. l don't wrap my bikes in cotton wool. Nor do l ever clean it, honest , l just keep spraying it with WD40. l do change the oil twice a year though, Halfords cheapist, like l say no cotton wool. good bike but too tall for me, looking at BMW F650 with 765mm seat height when l make a few bob.
