Be sure to put on fringe, lots of fringe.
And keep your shirt tucked in when you visit the HD dealer for the FREE coffee.
You all keep this up and I swear I am going to find one of those waving hands at the flea market and stick it on the inside of my windshield!

This one is about function. The Pan and Sporty were about fashion for sure ( well actually they were about getting laid, but that is another thread )
So far, New handle bars, lowered shocks, back rest, quick disconnect lower fairing mounts, and shorter windshield for comfort.
SEST Tuner, A/C, True Duals, and SE Touring mufflers for heat control and performance.
GPS, luggage rack, and windshield bags for traveling.
That's it so far, still on the list, highway pegs and new grips.

Function over fashion anytime. Had to mount a sissy bar yesterday, wife won't ride without. But a quick detach, so it's not that bothering. Next is a danny gray seat. Blinker relocation is the only "fashion" thing planed.

I really don't consider anything which is truly functional to be "tricking out" my bike. First priority should always be to comfort items - seat, backrest, handlebars, grips - or you won't be able to ride it enough to show off your bling items.

The scoot is not a piece of garage art, function is the highest priority for sure.

I'd have to say 99.9% function. I've always been a practical bastard anyway. For the 'function' on my scoot...fork bag for tools, throw-over saddlebags for trips and even small grocery trips, tall sissy bar to strap sleeping bag and tent to for trips and for newbie women passengers (it gives them a little more security). I'd like the Sundowner solo seat too, but can't afford it for quite a while.
The .1% fashion...give the scoot a bath and wax once in a while!
