You asked so..... Digital reads outs big enough for some of us old coots to see both during the day as well as night.

If all the gauges and radio could be flush mounted it would help eliminate having to clean those nooks and crannyys as Bingo stated above.

Nothing too futuristic, just easier to read and clean.

Heads up display is a great idea and would be easy to project on to the wind screen.
I was thinking about color variable LED lighting too. Nice ideas on the buffeting.
Yeah add that stuff too

Add some more speakers like the HogTunes setup. That thing looks great! Make the instruments light up in different colors like the really nice cars.

Yes better lighting can not see 6th gear or other lights during the day. Gps or Ipod mount, possibly Carbon fiber

Gauges that don't fog up or hold condensation. All gauges should be angled up a little more so you don't have to hunker down to see the entire face of gauge.

Ditch the air temp guage, trade for oil temp. The radio should be smaller, and have a slot to accept memory cards for playing MP3s. A tire pressure idiot light would be nice. There should be a GPS that's hidden, but has a heads up display on the windshield, with weather radar. Oh yeah, the windshield needs to be adjustable.

How about making the inner fairing color matched like the SE bikes, or at least make it a factory option when ordering the bike.
+1 for the dimmable LED lighting.

How bout moving the damn low fuel light and 6th gear indicator to the dash where it belongs and making them bright enough so you can actually see them. (sorry for you guys who want everything dim) I can figure out when I am in 6th gear but I hate glancing down to see that stupid gas pump on.

As others said, dump the useless temp gauge. We know what the air temp is, its hot in Texas or cold in Ohio. A place to store stuff like phones, toll tags or change, what ever.
While you are at it, make the switch assy and the fork/ignition easily removable vs what it is now. Beaf up the inner and outer mounting points on the batwing. Fix the bracket problem.

Get rid of anything that has a filament -can you say LED?

TUNES -WE WANT A DECENT AMP AND SPEAKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

............and don't forget the switch for the heated seat and passenger vibrator.
(hey, sounds like an extra cost option to me. sit your wife or girlfriend down and hit the
vibrator switch. Miles of smiles. Sorry I got off track.
