Congrats on your new ride. I am definitely with everyone that recommends new bars. I haven't changed mine out yet but will do it in the very near future. I've added the 4 point docking system, luggage rack, both back-rests and passenger floor board covers.

The dealer gave 20% that speedo...counldn't pass it up...one thing after 31.5 miles(it counts down) it marries to you ECM and serial #. If I read it right.

I'd agree. The stock wrinkle black passenger floorboards look out of place.

That being said, the only thing that really made me LOVE my bike was a set of 14" apes. The fishtails, air cleaner & TTS tune make it run noticeably stronger, but they don't make me enjoy the bike any more than when it was stock. Swapping the handlebars out definitely did though.
