I know but most people said exhaust of engine modes. I know I have spent a lot of money on add on in my life, some I regret some I loved. I havent got my new bike yet but be fore I sold my dyna I put on a set of quick connect hard leather bags....they were awesome. Best thing I did on that bike. Leave them on when traveling, take then off bar hopping

Well I got an Ultra so bags, Cruse, lowers, and a radio were on it.
But I added a backrest for the stock seat. that along with the Airhawk have made the Ultra easy to do 3 or 4 hundred miles a day just out moseying arrond. And doing 5or 600 mile trip days can be done several days straight.
The littlest thing was a throttle pad. It's a flat plastic pad that goes on the throttle grip and makes holding speed by hand real easy. I think it was 8 bucks.

First: Riders backrest on my stock seat. makes a world of difference on them long mile days.

Second: Color match my inner fairing, made it easier to clean, and more enjoyable to stare at during them same long mile days.
