Instead of progressive 422's, get Works Performance Light Duty shocks. They cost more but are really that much better.
I don't like the front wheel you currently have. In the early 90's, Softail Customs came with a solid disc on the rear and spokes on the front. I like that look still but since that time, many people have gotten to dislike it, preferring a matched wheel set.
I don't like the fat spoke trend that is popular now.
I think most wheels for bikes are ridiculously overpriced. If you want a spoked wheel that is truly custom, have a look these. They have more options and combinations than you can count.

I don't like your mirrors. Those hog tunes speakers or whatever they are look like Madonna's bra and are distracting from the rest of the looks of the bike.
My number one recommendation is ride it! Some guys just keep modifying and modifying their bikes without ever riding it at which point it starts to become dress up Barbie. Save the mods for winter unless something is broken. Ride the **** out of it the rest of the year.

I meant the OP. I don't see turn signals on the front or rear of his bike.

Several years back I got rid of the air suspension in the forks and installed Progressive springs with Ricor Intiminators. It was a serious handling improvement, but over time the ride left a little something to be desired. This year I replaced them with Race Tech single rate springs with emulators. Bingo! Handling is as good if not better, and the ride is much improved.
Getting rid of the air system also gives a little more room inside the fairing, so when you need to go iin there for something it's a little easier.
