    Now that I've got this TE310, all the modifications I want to do to this thing are for comfort instead of performance!:oldman: And this is coming from a guy who only rode 450's for the last 10 plus years.

    Top of my list for this thing is the Seat Concepts lower seat, Fastco handlebars and the lighter Earthx battery.

    I took this thing for a serious (technical) single-track ride with my son-trails I haven't ridden in over a year. I had a blast! Plenty enough power, handling was great. It's already a little lower then my KTM and that made a HUGE difference in the rocky, technical stuff so I can't wait to lower it even more. Anything to lighten the weight will help every time I have to pick that sucker up and the handlebars should help my creaking wrists:D. Right after the ride I felt great: pumped up and ready to do it again, but I have to admit; the next day at work I could hardly walk:eek:

    LOL! I resemble that remark! I was not aware of the Fastco handlebars. Any isolation from vibration would be great. The hands do get a little numb at times. Hopefully this "lowered" rider will not have to pick his up too often.

    At my age I've forgot how I knew I was getting old because it happened so long ago.
