That is pretty sweet. Some pipes, an air cleaner and a PC III would be my next mod. I think the Arlen Ness Big Sucker with a custom cover painted to match the bike would look cool and it is about a 1/3 the price of the SE Heavy Breather.

Bike looks great. Only recommendations I have are cheap and easy. New mirrors and smoke turn signal lenses.

Take a look in the V-Twin(Ted's Cycle) catalog.
Part number 48-0427 would look cool on your oil tank cover.
