My Fat Bob
I would put a 7" Fat Boy headlight on there, stick on some 2" spacers under your risers (40 bucks shipped, black, forgot the site though, PM me and i will find it for you), take out your Rush baffles and buy some BCT QQ baffles...and lose the upper chrome chain guard!
but i do love those black pipes and that A/C is badass...i can't wait to get my PC-V so i can put my whimmer better sucker back on...engine ran way too lean with it on...

Like your bike a lot! If I had the denim paint I think I would have gone for a "blacker look." But I love the vivid black and how it contrasts with chrome, so I went that way.
You might want to consider better grips. Changing to the nostalgic made a world of difference for me. Also changing mirrors . . . I hated the stock ones. Limp and I seem to have the same taste in mirrors!

Bike looks good. Nice choice on the tank badge. That looks great on the black denim paint. I think you should get rid of that big ol tailight. The Tri--bar LED is nice but known to have mounting tab issues. I had one and now I'm rockin' the Cycle Visions Eliminator. It's pricey but gets rid of the sigs so it cleans up the back end. Here's a pic.

there you go...now just lose the taillight, the signals, get yourself a license mount for under the bobtail and you're good to go!

The Nostalgic Grips are fat and have ribs and they're just more comfortable and offer better control. This may be subjective, but they're substantially better. I hated the stock ones and these make me very happy.
The stock mirrors also needed a lot more fidgeting and adjusting than I liked and one just gave out after about 15,000 miles, wouldn't stay in one place. The Classic Teardrop are tight and just stay right where you set them. I love the looks as well.
