What's the best upgrade for these old bikes?

Thanks for posting pics! I have a "T" with an "L" seat...and your's is 16V with dual-disks. Did you paint your pipe(s) or change to 4-1? I can't see the left side too well.

I found a stock set out of nevada and painted it. wrapped the headers in case the paint decided to peel there. I like the looks of it too.

My signature gives you an idea what I have done to mine. And yes, I did the change out to a series R/R Compufire long time ago.

IMO, one important mod is the addition of a headlight relay setup -- the functional equivalent of this one . These do amazing things with your headlight brightness and, therefore, safety. I opted for the unit I linked to, and it was really money well spent.

OK, less stress on the system in general makes sense. Thanks.
We dont run headlights through the day here(unless you want to), but i can see why that would make a difference + blinkers e.t.c

Oh geez.landshark. Please turn your headlight on if you don't already. It's a lifesaver. I notice a definite difference as to folks pulling out of side-streets in front of me , if I forget to turn it on.

I sometimes do, i just dont remember to turn it on all the time.

The best upgrades I did to my bike are:
-modern tires
-progressive front springs
-stainless steel brake lines, pads could also be upgraded for better performance
