What he said. You are gonna destroy your top end with that velocity stack if you ride on the street very much- those things are for drag bikes that only see the track and get the engine torn down after a few runs.

I admire a man who seeks constructive criticism over the internet.
1. Ditch the velocity stack and get a real air cleaner.
2. The mirror is ugly, it's even uglier mounted upside down.
3. A laydown license plate holder from hogrida.com would look good.
4. Looks much better without the sissy bar.
5. From the last picture, you appear way too short for those forward controls and tall tbars, and if you crash with a sucker in your mouth you're gonna swallow it, stick and all.

Damn that brake pedal looks like a PITA to operate. Can you adjust it down? Or are you fairly short and your toe sticks up like that?
I like your bike as-is (see my sig pic).
If I had to give suggestions (i never criticize someone elses scoot.... classless IMO)...
Id say lose the fairing and do a tank lift. For some reason (prob the trend), those bars look out of place to me.
Cant believe I'm saying it, but I think that mirror would look better on top if you're not gonna move the signals. Just looks cluttered on the bottom of your bars.
On the other hand, if you want to move your signals down to the forks, Ive got the HD clamps for just that. Im taking them off to sell cause I'm getting different signals.
I know you LOVE your V-Stack, considering you had it PC'd. Problem is, its gonna hurt your motor.
Ive got a stock air cleaner assembly with 0 miles on it off my '14 SB. If you want it, pay shipping and its yours.
Theres some pretty slick DIY projects on the stock assembly that look pretty damn good.
Those are my observations but as I said, I like your bike as-is bud.
Its yours. Do you like it?

From the updated photos , I would
1. lose the "old NO.7" logo
2. get a spoke front wheel
3.lose the mirror
4. lose the windshield fairing gizmo
5. powder coat lower legs black
regardless, it's a a cool bike, the changes are just what I would do.
less is more in my book.

it's cool, looks like there's a lot of time into it,, like others said get a functional air filter on there, protect that motor & I would get some kind of graphics on the tank, do something unique, something animal inspired makes sense to me, just some silver decals would be cools, maybe just a jolley roger would be cool.
also I'd get some better lighting on the back, just so your more visible.. an under the fender light would be cool.
and ideally, when convenient, get a matching wheel for the back or front.
