Default Mod Options / Things to change

Hi All,

Just bought a 2014 XL 1200 CB. I already fitted Vance and Hines Slip ons and Heat wrapping but want to change a few things....

Air Cleaner / Intake - Big Chrome OEM one is too in your face. Pos black Kuryakyn one..not too sure if I need one specifically for my bike or if they are universal?

Mirrors - Again thinking of going black

Smaller number plate - cant decide between side mount of tilted one.

Sissy Bar and backrest - Have looked at the Burly but can't decide between tall or short.. I will be having the Mrs on the back occasionally so something preactical.

If anyone has any recommendations that'd be great!
Dan
