OK.....you asked for it.....here is my worthless opinion....Decide on the look you are going for....if you want a touring bike...lose the fairing and get a windshield...although that is not what I would do.....I would lose the bags and the seat....get a brawler or some other sport solo seat and drag bars to compliment the fairing....like I said....just my worthless .02

I am saying Chrome primary only to match the cam side. Looks lopsided otherwise.

1200 Conversion.

Stage 1 Upgrade.

Or if the 883 is enough for you:

Custom Wheels

Chrome Fork Sliders (If you like chrome)

Take off all the extraneous reflectors

Relocate your front turnsignals to below your faring.

Laydown license plate holder.

Smoked lenses all around.

But that's just my idea... come up with what you want, based on that or otherwise.

I would of taken thatengine guard/crash bar off the front first.....but it's not my bike...Not my style.

Why would you put a chrome belt guard on when your bag covers it almost all the way?
Definitely remove the reflectors, and of your poll choices...I'd say do the bars!!!!!

Getdrag bars on iton it quick before anybody sees you riding it with those hiteous (I cant spell) handlebars on it. Then get the 1200 conversion the same day as the handlebars. Then after that get a solo seat and lose the saddlebags and engine guard.
