nice choice! i've got the exact same.

things I've done:
* rinehart 2 into 1
* K&N air filter
* custom air filter cover
* corbin seat
* tail light & turn signal hit
* 3" tank lift
* 3" forward control extensions
* 16" apes on 3.5" risers

(I'm 6'3", so some of these might not work for you)

Congrats on the bike!

Congrats on all you have accomplished. Great choice for your first scoot. Your gonna love the wideglide. If you have trouble reaching the controls you can either get a reach seat or send your stocker to mean city for mods.

Thanks for all the comments and warm welcome. I will look into the reach seat some more, but I am thinking of giving Mean City a call first.

I have also seen a setup that moves the controls closer, but it requires a new brake rod, or at least some modification to the existing one. For now I am going to wait until my heel rests come in. I'll post up some pics if anyone is interested.
