Here are a couple of mods I have done for our Cyclone 3010. Really pretty simple ones.But I am amazed at how simple little changes make a world of difference.
The first was just adding a plug under the top kitchen cabinets. The only outlet was on the wall in front of the sink. This allowed us to place the coffee maker on the counter next to the stove.
The next was adding a cross bar to the doors. This solved 2 problems. Closing the door was difficult with the little handles that were originally designed for short windows in the top half of the door. When HL went to the full windows in the doors. They didn't adjust the handles and you about rip your fingernails off trying to close the door. Also resolves the issue of privacy at night. Now we hang a towel over the cross bar and (Unless your 7' tall) this blocks anyone walking up seeing inside. I mounted the bar directly to the window frame as I could not find any solid area in the door to screw them to. I had to grind the outside lip down on the frame at allow the handles to sit flush on the metal.
This weekend I added the Pingel chocks to the garage for our bikes. I was worried that the rubber mat might create a problem as I tighten the bolts. But everything seems to fit well. I did add a metal backing plate underneath along with silicon to seal out water and then a coat of rustolem spray paint to keep the metal from rusting.
During an earlier mod, I replaced the bathroom sink to allow my whole hands to be washed instead of my fingertips.
Now I am looking at that box that sits next to the toilet. Trying to figure out what its purpose is, other than sitting things on top of it. Top doesn't even lift up. At first, I thought it covered some piping up. But upon closer examination. 2 screws hold it to the wall. Guess I will see what I can come up with for this next.
What have others done with this?
