I also love my Standard. Some changes I have made. From the bags to the Progressive shocks to the Power Commander for the EFI,,,Dyno Tune woke her up big time...to the Mini Floorboards for our longer trips, the Mustang seat ...no butt issues, the HD rack and backrest, perfect for our slip over pack for overnighters...chrome front end..HD Bullet headlight...Vance & Hines BSS pipes...Hi flow SE air cleaner set up...chrome here and there....chrome axle covers,,,balh blah blah...the list goes on..but I love my Standard.
Enjoy yours, and ride safe.
