If you plan on doing some motor work(heads, cams, etc.) then maybe but other wise just have them put the SE A/C on it and then you can run it open, and IMO looks much better than that ugly arm sticking out..

I think I will go with the se stage 1. i got a rewrds card through the dealer and i get 2500 dollars with the purchase of the harley so its tech not my money but i do want to spend it wisely, Does anyone think the extended warranty is worth while? Does mustang or corbin make anything better than or as good as the sundowner for cheaper price? Thanks again for all the replies.

Congrats on the new ride. You are going to want a higher windshield. If you plan on doing any serious miles the whole air-management thing is something you'll want to study (unless of course you like having your head rattled!). This forum has lots of good threads covering that issue.
Ride safe and welcome to the dark side!

I think it a crap shoot with the extended warranty.. Some swear by it some don't.
I didn't mess with it..
Corbin and Mustang are good but very expensive..
C & C makes custom seats for $350 and up and will make it out of what ever kind of leather you want.. hard to beat the sundowner's though price wise..

congrats on the X
Many have posted good advice, take your time and enjoy the search for the perfect add for you.
If you want to add a backrest or anything else, get the 4 pt docking system. This gives you more options later as you decide you want a TP or luggage rack.
If you decide to go with the sundowner seat, I would post in the WTB section, I got a good deal on mine there.
Windshield. I like the KW but the new HD shield looks pretty good.
Pipes are very subjective and you will get many opionions on them. Take your time, look at other bikes and listen for the ones you like.
I like my heavy breather, the one problem I have now is that the long filter does not work with my vented lowers.
highway pegs, I like the 360. I have them set up so I can have my heel on the fb and still reach them.
Congrats on the new ride! BTW the seat on the 11, is much better than the 10.

You're going to love the SG! First and foremost was a new windshield for me. The small 4" shield looks great, but channels wind right into your face. Some may like it, I did not. I go an 8" shield with recurve from Clearview. Next was a sundowner seat with adjustable drivers backrest. My bike (07) came with 4 pt docking hardware preinstalled at the dealership, so I bought a tourpak that I can take on and off for longer trips and for 2-up riding. I also swapped out the grips right away and added highway pegs to stretch out. After the first 1K miles, I added V&H ovals, Stage 1 breather and PCIII.
I didn't get the extended warranty and haven't had any problems. *knocking on wood*
Good luck!
