Default What was your 1st accessory purchase

Just bought my 2006 Heritage Classic. Was just wondering what everyone's first accessories or parts were for their new ride? Mine is pretty much stock with the exception of SEII exhaust. Can't afford to buy everything at once. Thanks for your input.

In my instance, I changed what ever I needed to change to get myself comfortable on the bike. If you already fit, think about a heavy breather and perhaps a race tuner and recalibration.

Mostly the first purchases are to get the bikes roadable, including sissy bar, engine guard, highway pegs, windscreen, decent grips and a luggage rack.&nbsp\\; Then, it's pipes and breather work.&nbsp\\; After that, it's just small cosmetic stuff.

First one has always been the pipes, then the stage 1, and finally all the little stuff.

I bought a windshield bag, the one with studs to match the saddle bags....put it on before I drove off the lot. Wanted a place for smokes, phone, garage door opener, etc....

Since then...more bling has been added.....
