The only mods I've done since I bought the bike a couple of months ago are highway pegs on the crash bar, simple chrome shift rod w/ rod ends and a chrome strip across the top of the fairing.

I don't have a lot of pics but I have several boxes of parts with which I can change the look and style to suite my mood. I also have three seats which I can change around, Badlander for around town/ 1-200 mile trips, Mustang king and queen for the long trips, and a Lepera solo for TTing. The cool part of an older Glide is there are LOTs of parts out there, fleabay, craigslist, and swaps. I sometimes use going to look at something as a ride destination. The most important thing is just get out and ride, and if your like me wrenchfest are fun too.

take a look at mine, in my profile.

2010 Electra police model.
Basically converted to a street glide.
Lowered 2", bag guards removed, horn re-located, LED accents, guage bulbs changed, custom stereo, complete Jackpot exhaust, etc...

Nothing to major done to mine. I went at this bike to make in comfortable rather then flashy. My list of mods and some pics are in my signature.

Depends how much you want to spend, you can go from mild to wild.
