Am I missin anything?
First off... Hi all! Been lurkin here a while (lurkin sounds much nicer than stalking BTW) and am finally takin the plunge! Hopefully pickin up my Fat Bob Thursday and gettin rid of my Ducati 1098 
I'll miss the power of the Duc, but the burnt *** and uncomfortable ride won't be lol
Of course I did the obligatory non-shiney adds (black controls and some accessories) and want to know if there is something I definately should get? Went with V&H pipes and a 412 progressive 11" setup (black of course) in the back. I read about the tank lift and may end up doin that, but anything else?

Congrats on the new ride and welcome to the forum. (don't ever talk about waves, chaps, fingerless gloves, harley t-shirts, comparing your HD to a metric, and a few other things.)

I would recommend getting the rider's essentials kit from Harley. This is the package of Detachable Windshield, Detachable passenger backrest and a luggage rack.
You may not use them all right away, but eventually you'll want either a T-Bag or some other luggage on the bike. Need a backrest for that, unless you go for saddlebags. Long distance rides are better with a shield, etc...
Also, you didn't mention if you got grips. Stock grips suck.
Edit: Thomaskray is going to get me fired some day! I can't stop staring at his avatars...
