I was curious to know what your favorite mod is? I know there's a lot one can do, but what's the number one mod that put the biggest smile on your face???

I would have to say adding the vented lowers to my SG is my favorite single mod.

New seat so far is my favorite mod. It allows me to ride my bike for much longer distances.

I have three quick and easy mods that come to mind---the hd boom speakers, my 6 and 8 inch lrs shields and the rush slipons. buy the way I cut the 8 in. shield down to 7 and it seems about perfect for my riding position.Although I am ready to try a new shield soon.

One done by a scientific vendor who owns a machine shop, as a favor to me - the license plate bracket was cut down to eliminate the ugly "tab" that hangs below standard plate frames that don't have the fugly DOT reflector underneath. Now I can esily stick my hand underneath between the fender and the plate bracket bottom. Try that with the average FLH...
