your rear signal looks outta place you have rings on the front signal,tail light bezzel,headlight,spotlights and on your pipe ends,it's little but it would make a difference, i think that would also make the back end pop and get rid of the red the eye goes right for it. Other than that less is more.

I've still got to ask my powdercoater about matching the satin chrome (because not all of us are in Canada, damnit). Then I'm going to add one of the Kuryakyn lower engine covers to break up all the black on the primary side of the bike and more-match the satin chrome rocker box covers/cam cover on the exhaust side.. how's the other side of your bike looking?

I was going to say the same thing about a cvo style rear lighting set up. Do they make fairing lowers that will fit a softail?

Some Satin silver pin stripes to match the satin aluminum? Something simple.

In addition to all the minor things that have been brought up, cut down those white nylon washers under your seat thumb screws. Maybe also a LePera solo seat.

Another simple idea that adds some small detail is to use black hot toppers on all your bolt heads that are on silver cases or chrome. It just adds some more contrast and details things out a bit more.

I think your bike looks great as is, its got a clean, tight look. If I would do anything, I would do what you stated in your first post - small, detail orientated stuff. I really like how the polished/satin covers look on your bike. I would try to duplicate that on the rest of chrome and other trim pieces. I think that little details like that make the bike.
