My New 2018 SG
Congrats on your new bike. Year?
You may want to get a recurve type of windshield that is taller. Seat? 2 up? Exhaust? Are you happy with the sound? Do the tires look good? Have the fluids been changed?
There are a ton of threads on helping you spend your hard-earned money. Enjoy.

I demo'ed the HD 10 inch recurve, which I ended up purchasing. I'm just over 6' and it throws the air over my head. I also added a medium height backrest with medium pad. The luggage rack is the air wing. Of course this is all detachable using the 4-point docking station. I upgraded all the lighting with the HD LED headlight and and Custom Dynamics for the turn signals and rear running light. Highway pegs. To be on the safe side, I mounted rear bag guard rails. Being my first bagger, it's possible it may go over. :0 Oh, and don't forget the axle caps. 
I plan on upgrading the audio with Hertz speakers and amp. I will be buying a touring seat so my girl is more comfortable. I will only use it when she rides since it will be butt ugly. Suspension? Possibly down the road. I've only put about 140 miles on since I picked it up Friday. I still need to fine-tune the damping on the stock suspension before i contemplate an upgrade.
Have fun throwing money at it.

Congrats on the SG. I have a 17 CVO and just love it. I also added a taller HD windshield I went with the 7 inch. Added the lighted LED trim to the front shield and the lighted LED luggage rack to the back with passenger backrest. Added the HD 2 piece luggage. Used it for the first time last week to go to GOTO GP in Austin worked great. Upgraded the seat to the heated CVO limited hammock seat best money I ever spent. No more freezing your nutz off. Get out and put some miles on it. Add slowly and talk to other SG riders and see what they like or don't like and why. Safe travels.

Congratulations on the new ride! If I were to start again, it would be suspension, seat, windshield, and bars. Then I would tinker with pipes, etc. Comfort is everything on the long rides that I tend to do. Have fun with making it your own.
