Here's some thatare easy and cheaper than what you're doing so far:

Headlight & Turn Signal Visor Trim



Lay Back License plate



HD Script Rear Axel cover

I agree with TexasFat Boy on these items. The biggest visual improvement, IMHO, is the headlight visor.

I'd say wheels, seat, and a rear lowering kit make the biggest difference. I have the seat and lowering kit on my 08 already along with a bunch other stuff, and im getting my wheels in the next month. I went with the C & C lo pro 2up with some stitched in tribal flames so my wife can still ride on the bike to rallys and what not, but it still looks good. Made a big difference in the looks and the quality is top notch. I went with the burnout cycles rear lowering kit and im very happy with that as well. Changed the whole look of the bike from cruiser to hot rod. I lowered mine a lil over 2inches. Little rough but doable. Like i said, wheels are next for me and i plan on going with a hogpro wheel 19 inch in front, 18 in back. Theres a picture of mine in my sig so you can get an idea on the seat and lowering kit. Good luck!

Oh, i dont know if youve already done it, pipes made a big difference for me too. Had to have some sound. I went with the V&H big radius, power commander 3 tuned by fuel moto, and a arlen ness stage 2 big sucker. Made a huge difference.

Ahh, bollocks.

Best mod I did was to take the license plate off the support bracket, ........get a hammer to the support; and smack the phuker as hard as you can. I call it the rear license plate lowering kit........ Top mod, and didn't cost a dime.

I also agree that the visor rim is a great addition and I may put a set on my Heritage.
Kinda pricey since I will have to do 3 but very tasteful.

I'd change the exhaust first.. the over/under shotgun or whatever they call it has gotta go. it runs right over the passenger pegs and looks/sounds like a wet fart

I would suggest if you are changing the mirrors, grips etc trystickingto the same collection. Think carefully if you are going the skull route, as this does not suit all bikes, sadely, that includes mine
