The under 100.00 mod list!

Post up any mods you can think of that are cheap to do. this could be a good resource if it works out and people are posting.
I;ll start with the old polyurethane motor mount inserts. make a huge difference, no wheel hop, alot of vibrations but there kinda cool.

Airbox mod is just as effective as a $250 filter attached to a shiny metal pipe.
