My H-D dealer still has the new bike and is waiting on some accessories from H-D. When I can sit on the Mustang seat, I will be able to determine the windshield height I need.
Below is my current list of parts and accessories. I'm thinking about the new Road Glide Goat-E light from Ciro3D.

No hurry, winter is just beginning in Wisconsin.

I purchased the Ciro3D Goat-E front light with amber turn signals and the Bag Blades with run, brake, and sequential amber turn signals for added "be seen" visibility at both front and rear of the bike. I am using the standard wiring connector. I can upgrade to the Lightstrike controller later if I see a need for it. I like the well integrated appearance of these lights.

Do you have a picture of the GOAT-E, does it replace the black piece of plastic at the bottom of the fairing ?

I run those on my 2024 and love them. Work like a small banana board.

I did a little online searching and purchased some used performance parts in great condition: A CVO Road Glide ST air cleaner assembly and a pair of SE Extreme Flow Titanium Mufflers (not from the same bike).

The air cleaner is different than the SE Heavy breather. The CVO ST design has better leg clearance and dynamometer tests show that it performs very well. Some reviews report that there is not excessive intake noise on the CVO ST.

The SE muffler set is PN 64901365 (PN's 64901380 and 64901381) they are different than those on the CVO ST (PN's 34901354 and 64901355). The CVO ST mufflers are 50 state legal (CARB and EPA), the SE titanium mufflers are 49 state legal (EPA only). I don't know what the physical differences are. Not being CARB legal usually good for performance and sound. Reviews state that these mufflers are quiet which is what I want.

These Stage 1 parts are supported by the 49 State Screamin' Eagle Pro Street Tuner (PN 41001141) which I also found in unused condition from an online seller. These components are also compatible with upgrades to stage II or III.

If I don't like these parts I'll fall back to the standard CVO mufflers and stock air box. I'm a little concerned with all the photos I've seen posted of water pooling in the stock air box. I'll definitely get a rain sock for the CVO ST air cleaner.
