The first think I am trying to do is replace all lights with LED. I am in the process of figuring our how to delete the front bullet style turn signals with the Harley LED signal mirrors. So far the dealership is saying that it cannot be done and I will be stuck with the stock lights... or the mirrors will not function properly as turn signals. I will post what I figure our.
However - if you delete the front signals, the CANBUS will probably see no load at the front and throw codes or not function properly.
You could try bar end LED indicators instead of the stock signals (I did and it works perfectly with the LED mirrors). They are sweet and discrete and nobody knows they are there until you use them.
These ones are MotoGadget M-Disc

Definitely improves as the pads bed it. I have a set of Lyndall pads I bought when mine was new and never bothered to install yet.

The LED mirrors WILL function correctly as turn signals if you delete the stock turn signals. They are powered from spare connectors in the frame backbone rather than from anything up the front of the bike.

I will start. Bought my bike last week. Couldnt be happier with it. I wish it had a larger fairing and slightly taller risers for the handlebars, but otherwise, its a sweet ride.

Next project is replacing the rear bullet brake/running/turn signals with LED. I think I will be getting the Custom Dynamics LED inserts... but havent researched which ones.
As far as performance mods, I plan to add a Bassani Road Rage exhaust system.

The mirrors absolutely can be done, but you will lose your running lights on the front, as the mirrors are two wire connections instead of three. It's a canbus bike, it will run them without an equalizer, but your dash indicator will blink fast. I've had LED's on the front of my 13 since new, they work as advertised.

My dealer called me as they have one showing up on Friday. I may take a stroll down there.
Question for those who have one already. Has anyone done a "stage 1" yet? I'm wondering about the air cleaner and the TBW. I imagine with the throttle by wire that it will need a different air cleaner, and am wondering what's out there...
Edit: I know it has the cone SE intake, but I actually hate the exposed cone and want to go with a standard big sucker style back plate, is why I asked.

They are 2 wire and can still be used as running lights, best to use the harness they come with. They're not supposed to be used without stockers (they're classed as auxiliary lighting) but you can do it easily.
Give the forum a search, there's a threat on these mirrors with plenty info on how folks have set them up
