I had to get a passenger backrest and a more comfortable seat for my wife before we even left the dealership.
Slip on exhaust.
floorboard extensions. Should have done this first.
RSD Tracker grips.
Boom speakers.

Probably could warm up with the Service and maybe Parts manual and some kind of liners in saddlebags to stop **** from making noise and banging around unless you wrap it. A couple of good threads on it around here. If you hate the stock seat, that's an easy comfort fix and Mustang seems to be the name I hear the most and see the most (I don't have the personal experience with them though). I am going to put a couple thousand on before we change the seat on ours. Hell, we thought we landed in dreamland when we rented the Limited (thus the purhase). I did seem to cook the gonads on one of the hot days, hoping the headers will clear some of that along with a bit of fuel management (just whining really, not a major big deal). If not, I will be looking at that but to be honest, the bike is sweet right out of the box. Hell, 2500. dollars worth of gas, cheap sleeps etc. would give you a bunch of countryside and then you will know what you really want. Got to have that manual though.

Hammock seat. Best $500 you'll spend on comfort. Stage 1 & cams. True dual exhaust, PC-V, SE A\C & so many choices on cams I won't even try....How much do you have to spend? This group could spend it ALL quickly! Good luck & let the mods begin!

I have the very same bike. Stage 1, Harley Super Tuner, V&H Power Duals (mainly to get rid of that heat), V&H High Output slip-ons, and dyno tune. Amazing sound & more "guts." The driver back rest is nice too. In my opinion, that stock seat's really not too bad. I have one of those Harley Circulator seat Pads. It helps. I vote head pipes & slip-ons first, then back rest, then seat. (Then, of course, there's the stereo upgrade!)

Like these guys said, what's important TO YOU? Function, performance, comfort, looks .... ?????? For me, it was function first because I like to ride long distances, blocking the wind, having room to pack, etc. However, I have a Street Glide, so like to be able to strip her down and blast around on the weekends sometimes close to home. There I like my performance. There in lies the problem, my wallet never gets past this stage ..... So, my bike is a joy to ride long distance and runs like a bat out of hell, but looks, well, looks stock, actually ..... for the most part.
