'06 is a good year to buy, better flowing heads. Is the bike carb or EFI? EFI is better, mine has a carb. Sorry, but no recent pics of mine.

I went with the FXST 07 for the six speed & 96 Ci.

Phat mini apes & riser, chrome trans cover, timer, outer primary, spoke rear, pully, R disc, mirrors, upper & lower controls, grips, pegs, chromite cables, f/R calipers, V&H BR, SE HB Air, LED tail/brake light, fender extension, remove belt guard, turn signal relocate, seat/panel/bib.

(Chrome oil tank missing from photo)

Good luck & enjoy

Nice ride and welcome to the not so standards. First thing I would do is lower the rear and relocate the tag. Check out the standard pics on here.
