Default What will be your winter mods?

I just picked up my '09 new-to-me Heritage Softail. I'm contemplating some winter mods:

Quiet Baffles for V&H exhaust
Handlebar risers
Convert to bullet turn signals
LEDs for all lights
Do something with a/c football
Do something with license plate
Extreme detailing

What are you planning?

I am going with:

14-16" Apes
2 in 2 exhaust
A/C change
Tuner
Laydown plate
and some P/C on various parts
Possibly some Fat 50 wheels

All this will make my Lo clean and mean and ready for spring.

New wheels, new tires, have the exhaust repowdercoated (since it is rusting in the same places it was when I had them do it the first time). Thinking hard about changing out to some Roland Sands bars.

Mostly going to be working on the FXR, got the motor and trans done and just waiting on the back ordered wheels to put it together.
