want to look non factory? keep wearing busy gear that doesn't match and has colors that don't gel with the bike. we get it. you want to be a non conformist. and it looks horrible, red boots on a kawasaki for instance, Reed was wrong to do it too. 80's/90's had it dialed. look at Jett and Hunter. that's factory. match your gear.

Literally easier to just swap the upper tubes side to side, assuming you can achieve the correct orientation for your bleeders, etc with the sticker placement they gave you.

I made a bike look like a gay pride parade.  Blue rims…..anodized everything else in blue.   
 

every aftermarket bolt on crap that they sell.   It looked like a went through the Parts Unlimited catalog and said “I’ll take one of each”

Not an intentional mod (I hope not) but some of yall running your levers like this for way too long. Please replace them and move them inward on the bars while we’re at it!

Any aftermarket vent lines on a two stroke.

Honda sells bulk rolls of the real stuff. Even Amazon third party pink and clear won't look right.

I'm going to go with shaved seats and spoke skins as some of THE worst and dorkiest mods.  Some graphics kits can be simply atrocious too.  Simple and clean is always better.
