My best would be the leather Crotch Cooler by Captain Itch. What a difference in slow traffic, no more boiled eggs. I put it on two bikes now.

Fork fangs lowers. Got rid of all the turbulence. Nice calm breeze surrounds me at all times now.

Thumbs up

The Kuryakin High Five Mach II Air Cleaner and Vance & Hines Big Radius 2-Into-2 Exhaust combo.

They completely change the look of the bike from "Fat Touring Bike" to "Lean And Mean Scoot", sound great, and added 12 HP and 17 more ft/lbs Torque.

I've added a ton of other things to the bike, as you can see, but those 2 were the first. That was also the first thing I did to my Super Glide Custom.

After that, the chrome handlebar controls and the painted inner fairing were really big.

The best mod I made to my shovel hands down was swapping out the keihin butterfly carb for a CV.

Ray, could you make your sig pic just a tad bigger? LOLOL.

I'm really having issues seeing it.

Pixels just exceed the max allowed just a bit no?

Hard to choose...and I am a bit biased toward DK Custom Products parts.

But, I'd say I am split between the paint and the NRHS 1250 conversion.
