What to upgrade?
Just picked up my Glide on Sunday, it is pure stock. I see on this forum that most everybody has modified their ride in one way or another. Hell, even the dealer that sold me mine told me that "a bike is just a down payment on accessories." So, what to change first? It is an '07, so I already have the 96" ci engine, don't think I need 103", so what else?
If it was your bike, what would you change? Just looking for suggestions. Bear in mind, I bought it because I love the EG just the way it is, not looking to make changes for change sake, but if there is a modification that makes sense, I want to know about it.

Only make changes that you want to do. You'll see things that you want to add and modifications you want to make as you ride it and meet up with folks riding that you like what they've done. You can spend tons of money on upgrades and after a few weeks or months decide you don't like what you've done. Take your time, put some miles on it and keep your eyes open for things you like.

Half of the enjoyment comes from making the bike your own! Looking through these forums you will see the pictures of other bikes in sig files and something they have done will strike you with " man I gotta have that". When it does, go for it. But most of all make it the way you enjoy it most.
