What kind of look are you going for? More old school, more chrome, more blacked out? Don't want to suggest anything that doesn't go with the look you want for your bike.

A Lepera Barebones seat will lower you without affecting the suspension. Not for touring but good for 150 miles or so...

Looking good 07, which way you thinkin, to go? Agreed with JRK relocate the turn signals.
HD Hornets idea of the blacked out taillight is good. Any ideas where to get one? The ones i,ve seen were expensive.
Love those wheels with the thick spokes ( some 3/8" ),dunno what they cost, lots i expect.
Hope your wrist gets healed quick and your back in the saddle.
