I personally think blacking out your primary casing, sproc cover, etc, will really be nice. Like the iron. I'm not really a big fan of chrome or silver.

Judging from your pipes yours 883 is 03 or older, not much choices for exhausts, but you might find one that you like.

The best way to improve it would be to ride it.

Nice bike tho.

Don't know how much coin ya got to drop,,

Mirrors,,,yup
I'd want Rush slip ons,,for a great deep base sound.
1.5" baffles should be nice and quiet,,still would be a little
louder than the stock pipes.

Thats about It,,,
I dig the fender hugging Rack XD
If that rack could stay with a lay down tag holder that'd be cool,,

You Already got my favorite color.

I found several choices for exhausts for my '02. Nice bike, just ride her for a while and she'll tell you what she wants.
