Thumbs up Best accessory ever
Got the heat shields installed under the seat that redirect the rear cylinder airflow to keep you cooler. Man, what a great option! It makes a BIG difference in how hot it is when you're sitting at a stop. I think this may be the best option there is

My best was definitely changing out ALL my lights to LED. I am lit up like a Christmas tree, if you can't see me then you don't have any business driving.

It has to be the Touring Seat, Sissy bar pad with detach Sissy bar and Floorboards for the wife's comfort...

Motor wise, hands down... CAMS... people wont believe the diff when U get those EPA, POC, cams out of Ur motor and put in some good ones.

The captain itch cooler looks nicer than the one I got but that's the same basic thing I got and it's the best option ever. It makes a HUGE difference in comfort level, especially when stopped at a light.

I'm going with my Cams and Carb upgrades. Made the bike like it should have come from the factory. Also switched to E3s and Progressives front and back, handles much better.

Some say the Soft Tail conversion. ;-) Sorry, couldn't stop myself! Heh heh heh

Hayden M-6 primary chain tensioner.

I'm at 117,000 miles and everything in the primary is still original.
