I’d recommend custom dynamics for your signal LEDs and google bright *** tail lights for your brake light upgrade. Best brake light out there. It’s expensive but worth it. If you’re tall, get highway pegs. Other than that, resist the temptations and just ride it for a while.

An adjustable passenger back rest is a nice addition. Makes for a more comfortable wife on longer trips. So is a luggage rack and a smaller travel bag or even a detachable King Pack. All are nice additions on a Road King.
Good looking bike. Enjoy

Congrats on your beautiful bike! Check out the Custom Dynamics website. You definitely need their front and rear turn signal inserts. The fronts run as a VERY bright white running light and then go amber through a turn then back to white. And the CD customer service staff is first class--don't hesitate to contact them with questions, etc.

I bought a 2019 FLHT and the first thing I did was install Legend AXEO cartridges in the front end. Second thing I did was install a Corbin Classic Solo seat with the oval backrest, a matching touring passenger pillion, adjustable backrest and passenger floorboards. Next thing will be rear shocks. I am still reading up on them, but will likely go with Legend Revo ARC remote reservoir units. I may go to a Rinehart 2 into 1 to loose the heat from the cat, but nothing at least until the warranty is out. I love my bike overall, but the stock suspension was pretty sorry and I have never cared stock Harley seats.

Beautiful bike. Enjoy it.

Just kidding enjoy your new bike, I would not go out and buy much, just wait awhile and you will finger it out. Like the first said Gas.

Nice bike. We can help you spend about as much money on upgrades as you paid for the bike. Bright *** Light is an amazing brake light. Custom Dynamics headlight, aux lights and turn signals.
From there we could go into seats, bars, suspension, wheels, the list goes on and on.
