Although not much of a "mod", the right-hand mirror was missing. The factory mount for it is on the master brake cylinder:

This replacement clamp moves it to the front putting both mirrors in the same location on the bars and preventing the brake cylinder from getting broken in the event of a spill:

Although at this point I have not yet actually ridden the bike, I have read how hot the pipes get. I decided to add two sets of carbon kevlar heat sheilds; one set is to protect the passenger's ankles and the other is for the fingers when holding the grab bars:

First, I have to strip the tail from the bike:

Tail section removed from 950

The ankle sheilds were pretty easy to install and just bolted on (didn't get a pic - oops). The finger sheilds, on the other hand, are going to be more work. They attach to this piece of the tail:

The sheilds came with a drill template but it doesn't actually match as closely as one might expect. So, I took my chances and lined it up with the bottom curve:

...and drilled my holes:

In the end, I had to dremel the holes into oval shapes so I could adjust the position of the sheilds. Here they are mounted:
