Harley Goodies extensions all the way. By far the least expensive and best product out there for Baggers and Softails. Tom actually installed them for me at his house. No hot dogs were harmed during the installation. I have many other "bargain" mods but this one still takes the cake. Check out this thread. Over 30 pages about this mod. https://www.hdforums.com/forum/touring-models/365646-floorboard-extensions-rock.html

I'll go with the screaming eagle riders backrest. Got it on e-bay when I first got the bike for $132 shipped. Keeps my back from screaming bloody murder.

I wonder what my answer is going to be? Probably some other custom pieces I am working on to add to the lineup when I find the time to get all together.

the turn signal/taillight mod is 57 bucks, and a great improvement if you want to be seen at night. my 08 streetglide lights up like a cathouse in the fog. a huge safety improvement.

Same except the set of 38's what is that? Pistols? Good idea except I would only need a 45 holster strapped there. Thx for the idea.

Second best was having having MCC re-do my Ultra seat.....

Third is the heritage style bars........

Fourth would be a nice set of 38's for my backrest !!!!!!!!

For me, comfort is a priority over speed.

Yeah, I know I know CW4 131A.......with no pics its just visual image waiting to happen.
I'm sure my camera would be planted "deep within" if she caught
me trying to take that pic !!!

As for the set of 38's masterblaster.........these fit perfectly up
against my back, afraid the 45's would crowd me too far forward.
I do shoot with a .45.....and play, pinch, and massage with the 38's.
