Great colors, cool rear fender (except for rear reflector), needs apes, needs pipes and I'm sure it will need a seat. Every Harley that I've had so far needed one.

I like ape bars as I got em on mine, but this one seems better with drag bars or something similar.

12" mini apes: cool and more comfortable

Drag bars: cool but not comfortable

Kills my back to lean forward to reach the bars.

I can see why you'd mod the bike with those bars and pipes since you have them on your current bike.
Neither would be my choice and so don't improve the look of the bike for me.

I do agree, a custom rear fender would fix the to me abrupt end on the stock fender.
