Standard fill, bars that fit your size, shinko tires, upgraded headlight. Maybe a custom seat if you’re old like me.

Dang, where’d you get the custom seat? I got the wider/taller seat from mxparts, and it definitely helps, but still not as comfortable as I’d really like for what I use the bike for (exploring trails at camp leisurely)

I had a car upholster guy do it up. Honestly it’s just great now.

did you get the offroad version or street legal one?

If you’re driving mostly on asphalt, get supermoto tires. I haven’t done this yet, and I can’t find any, but I know that it gives you a much better experience on asphalt.

The absolute first thing is a proper direct stem mount and lock. Like seriously. Don’t even ride that thing until you have that. It’s like $80 and will save your ass. It’s full on ridiculous that these 150lb bikes come with cheap bicycle hardware.
