From the looks of your profile pic, you're a nerd that flies RC planes. I do that too... Nerd.
Damn good looking bike! You can't go wrong with Ohlins, and as far as seats, I have my opinions, but you'll find your way. Mustang and Saddlemen are both top tier.

Congrats on the new bike. Suspension I would say Ohlins or Legend, seat my vote is going to badboyz cyclez if 2 up riding is a factor if not well I like the lucky daves seats myself. Bars I will go with a Kraus risers set up but there is plenty of option depending what style you like
Congrats you got one of Harley's best rides, I think anyway, a Road Glide, and I've ridden a few different models. You got the right idea, suspension, comfort, a better windshield lock klockworks, a better seat and backrest. I run Legends Revo A's in the back and Axeo's up front. Very pleased with the suspension now. I've ridden all day, 8-10 hours days for days on end with this setup. Albeit after about two weeks my *** is pretty much done but no way I could of done that on one day alone with the stock suspension and stock seat. Watch plenty of vid's and you can also try demo seats out at your HD dealer for free before you go and just buy crap because someone else said it was the bomb. All add to you and her comfort for longer rides.
Keep the warranty in check by not doing any bigger deals like stage II and tuners for now. Just ride the bike and enjoy it, down the road then you can look at engine upgrades, etc, because you most certainly will, lol.
