I just got an 05 RX1 totally stock... first mod was to get rid of that ugly windshield. Took out the dremel cut about 6 inches off the top and and 3 off the sides. Followed that with some rustoleum black plastic spray-paint. I assumed that I would mess the screen up and give myself a reason to buy an aftermarket one but I'm very please with the results! The spray-paint looks perfect!

I'm on the fence... I'll probably leave them but was trying to find a pic a blue one without them and couldn't.

If thats an 05 with a stock mono under it, consider spending a little on having the arms beefed up by welterracer and have the shock revalved for your weight and riding style. I think those are about the best two mods you can do to an 05-08 mono equipped sled...

Looks much better, It will be a lot colder though. I kept the tall for those cold days and the short for the nice warm spring days. Short windy used to suck my helmet off!

things to check exhaust donuts for wear. all front a arm bushings including the bulkhead and rear susp. arms for cracks , orignal idler wheels are crap.

Thanks everyone I figured it can't be any worse than an apex or nytro for wind protection. If I get cold I'll just dress warmer I can't go back to stock!

I checked the a arms they still feel tight it's only got 3000 miles on it. Exhaust will be checked and I plan on pulling the skid. Going to check all the idlers and the arm was just replaced by the previous owner from an apex with a grease fitting. Also I'm going to paint the whole skid black and check the driveshaft bearings. I weight 170 without gear so I think stock springs should be good?
