Default Your favorite up-grade/accessory

Whats the one thing that you did to your scoot that impressed you the most? You know, that one thing that had the WOW factor? It dosen't have to be a big thing, but just that one thing that really made it stand out?

This is going to sound funny but out of all of the thousands of dollars of chrome I spent on mine, the thing that "set if off" if you will, was when I put a Kurykayn chrome choke **** cover on. Sounds silly but it really did make a difference.

Just curious to see what everyone else's favorite is.

Should this be in the general section?

Tough question. Maybe its my Kurykayn engine guards. I bought the Ergo guards and installed them. Or it could be the chrome running boards I just bought that match my front running boards. I bought the nostalgic pattern inserts to match the front. One of these I guess.

Man, I guess if I have to choose, it's the muffs. I don't particularly like the way they look and I may end up changing them out someday. But I LOVE the sound they produce. Exactly what turns my crank when I'm out riding the beast!

My True Dual Rineharts was my biggest improvement. Sound and performance were subpurb. I really love them.

When I bought it was my favorite accessory lol. Maybe the wide white walls or the chrome front end or the nastalgic inserts in the foot boards. Hard to just pick one.

The absolute best thing I have ever bought for my Heritage is gasoline. A close second is the Mustang seat with backrest.

well, I am very pleased w/ my 95" kit. I am also pleased w/ my Hooker Headers exhaust. I am extremely happy w/ my Wild 1 bagger bars. I also have purchased a SERT, but have yet to go for a dyno pull and get it configured. I know I will probably end up spending tons more, but as of right now I would have to say my favorite is my XM RADIO!!!

My whole BIKE.

The first night it was at home in the garage, WOW.

I had a bigger woodie than I had when I bought my Cobra.
