Default ?? Single Best Mod ??

Just looking for opinions and input but I look at NCDeluxe, Panhead Rich, etc and I really think the chrome swing arm is one heck of an upgrade. It really looks sharp and totally classes up the rear-end.

The passing lamp is nice upfront too...

What do you think?

I'm a chrome *****, so naturally I think the chrome swingarm is
a great mod. As said, sure classes up the rear.

Chrome swing arms are nice, as are chrome forks. I have both but really think the custom solo seat changed the look of the bike more than anything I have done, with the possible exception of the 16" apes.

This is gonna sound crazy, but the DKCustoms Thunder Torque Inserts. For the $20 or so, they solved several problems and made my bike run lots better. Til I save up for some Big Shots Longs, they'll do.

The chrome RSD Diesel wheels. Oh, maybe the chrome hand control setup. Or, maybe the chrome front fork kit. But getting rid of the sissy bar and using the solo seat with small pillion was the one best maybe. But the Rush long pipes and cat removal really was one great improvement. Damn, this is one tough question!
