Default Now what

Hey fellas whats up? I have been lurking around here for a while but just never registered. Any way, fast forward... I bought my 09 FXSTC new back in 7/2009. Last year I added 2-2 Big Radius and Thundermonster baffles. The bike was more of a garage queen then I had time to ride it. This year I want to add more miles. We just bought a new house and the bike has a sweet temperature controlled workshop/garage to hang out in now and I want to do a few things to it. Money is an object so I do not have a ton to spend. I do want to do a PCV and an aircleaner (to be decided). Also I want to do a Tribar LED tail light. What else are some mods that are pretty sweet. I know "chrome doesn't get you home" and HD stands for $100. I do usually run 2up so its hard to swap the seat out as a mod but I am trying to make it look more thank a stock harley with pipes but I need some inspiration/ helpful ideas. Thanks in advance

Blacked out won't get you home either. A well maintained bike will though.
Post some pictures of the bike for better ideas on choices.

Have you looked through the FXSTC pictures here?

Does your wife ride with you most of the time?
Drew from DR V-TWIN can get you a deal on a solo C&C seat.

A free mod is removing the reflectors off the forks and struts.

Plenty of choices on matching peg/grips.

You have the rest of your life to change it to something you want.
So careful or we can help you get into money problems.

90% of the time she is out with us on the back of the bike. As for the grips and pegs, I would want to change them out once they wear out more. Removing the reflectors is a good idea too. I figured I would throw a couple of bucks at the bike in the winter to give me an excuse to hang out in the garage

I'd decide on the AC and fuel manager first.
Once they are on, you might see a direction you want to go for.

Yeah man I would probably do the air cleaner and tuner 1st for sure,
then maybe a new seat something two up but more streamlined those seats look like huge pillow tops.
And then maybe move the front signals off the bars to the forks.
Good places to start.
Just sayin,
Good luck wid it

A tank lift will clean up the lines of the bike and show a bit more chrome.

Lot's of choices on A/C's, if you are not wanting to change the look at all an SE or Big Sucker will work well to get some more air.

Check out this video for some ideas-
