Padded Bike shorts- I know it sounds funny, but they work.
Ear Plugs-wind noise can cause fatigue on long noisy rides.
Good gloves with padding in the palm- arm and hand fatigue arm common on these buzzy bikes.
Gel Throttle grips-
Pro Grips seem to be the favorite
Heavier
Bar Ends (kind of expensive IMO)
Adjustable Levers- Makes clutch and brake operation much nicer
Slightly
bigger and better tires for better stability, control and long distance wear
Correctly adjust your rear shock.
The below engine improvements along with a
better breathing air filter can help increase mpg and smooth out engine buzz
Iridium Spark Plugs for better combustion and increased mpg
E0 87 Octane Gas- proven to have better mpg and more power
Full synthetic oil-allows for a smoother running engine and shifting tranny. Will help reduce some engine buzz
Here's a good list of what to take on short-long trips.
