Default Winter Upgrades

What do you have planned for the bike during the winter months?

Me? Chubby ape hangers, grips and engine guard and highway pegs. Maybe even a tall sissy bar. New bike is only a month old, lots of customizing to do. Only changed the pipes so far. I have the bars and grips but am waiting til the temperature cools down before doing the work in case I face any unforeseen delays.

I'm going to pull the wheels on my fxdls and give them a proper gold paint job. Figured I'd do it myself. Worse comes to worse I can always strip them and go for pc later if it turns out poorly. Also going to paint the tsport fairing to match.

New grips are also in order.
