A quick and fair priced change would be swapping the seat. That big stock seat just doesn't do your bike any justice (I bet it's comfy though).

The wrapped pipes do look cool. I've also seen one that had the outer edges of the wheels powder coated red. But...that may be too much red and standout big time. Especially since it all blacked out..seems to me you bought a bad *** bike that has it all...so you're stuck...NO CUSTOMIZATION FOR YOU!!!

I think you can get a real quick bang for your buck with just a few starters. Change out the bars, get a solo seat, and slam it with a nice air shock. The air shock can get a little pricey, but you'll be amazed at how just those few things will give you a completely new look.
