Default New rider looking for some stuff

Bike: 05 883C Pearl White

1. BARS: Looking for links or photos w/ drag or v bars. im leaning towards a 4"-6" rise.
2. TIN: is there any aftermarket front/rear fenders? i would like something that covers the front wheel pretty well. similar to a victory kingpin.
3. WHEELS: what is the largest tire & wheel combo i can run front and rear? who makes a nice budget billet wheel and what bolt patterns am i after?
4. EXHAUST: looking for a nice sounding exhaust but would like to keep it pretty tame, nothing extremely loud.
5. SUSPENSION: how much can this bike be lowered? what parts are needed?

Bike: 07 883L Blue

1. TIN: where can i find a used tin set? will either my front or rear fender fit from my 05?
2. SEAT: what is a nice used takeoff seat worth?
3. BATTERY: what does a battery cost? whos battery is the best bang for the buck?
-The bike turns over only with a charger on. however, the bike does not fire! What are the chances the fuel pump could be out with only 2900 miles?

Also, this bike is forsale. I bought it with the intensions to fix but have since found the bike in the prior post.



Thanks, ill probally think of more later.

Seat - nothing. There's about zero market for takeoff seats.
Battery - one of the things HD does very well. Spend the money and buy their's.
Tin - Dunno. I don't have a front fender.
