They truly are plug, and play, and play, and play...! If you like to tune, and fiddle w/ your scoot. more than ride it, aftermarket is the way to go! As for the DOC-FTP! The best advice I can give on mod'in is use all the same manufacture parts. Mixing, and matching only opens doors to fitment, and tuning problems! There are complete kits from all the top dogs, and they have been tuned, and tried before being put on the market. A shop like JIANGWAYNE or MOPED HOSPITAL have the experience to recommend either "full" kits or "stages". Of course you will pay more from them than the guy in a band who owns a scooter shop on the side, but I would listen to the guys who love scoot mods first
