Default What to do next? Ideas, suggestions

I'm sure a lot of you have seen pics of my Fattie that I've posted. I mostly have bolt on stuff that I've done.

I'm kinda bored and sick with a cold, so killing time online

What do ya think I should do next? I'm debating about apes, not sure, maybe 14's. I don't really want them too tall.

I'm not looking for power or performance mods. Not wanting to lower anything, my wife and I are both a bit overweight, so we need the suspension

I'm thinking something around $300-400. Could do apes for around that, right? Maybe 14" Chubby's? Maybe chrome switch covers for the bars?

I have fwd controls on the way. So that is happening as soon as Chicago gets the parts to me

So, lets hear your ideas. What bolt on stuff should be next? I'm not looking to paint it, or change wheels.

Here's what I'm working on






Let me know what ya think. If ya have pics, post them up. Have some fun with it, cause I'm bored, feeling sick and it's chilly outside. I'm always dreaming up my next mod or accessory.

Here's a possible inexpensive one - what about a laydown brake tail light lens. I like that look on your fender.

Got any links to the parts? Are they Harley? Or a different company? I'm open to ideas. There are lots of things out there I've not seen yet

Like rusty1200 mentioned, Kuryaykn makes a great led tail light(low profile) and how about a lay down license plate. I have both from Kuryakyn and they really change the look of the rear end.
