Power Vision, 4" Jackpots, AC, CAMs, 10" or 12" Chubbys. The bike gets really fun after that.

Thanks for all warm welcome everyone. Wondering what are 10" or 12" chubbys?

There's a really good joke to be had here, but those are taller handlebars.

Talking

Research your tuner(s.)

TTS should be considered heavily... IMHO the BEST. And you've got the "God Father" of tuners in your state. Google Doc Weaver... give him a call, and ask his advice/differences. Lots on the "FM cool aid" will disagree...

Handlebars... many options. I went with the Kromwerks stretch heritage myself.

Welcome

Welcome! You might want to consider the MGS Performance Package. I installed mine a while back and love the better sound and performance. Great products and great people to work with. The package came with MGS True Duals, Arlen Ness Big Sucker AC, and Power Commander V for a great price. Couldn't be happier!

Congrats on the new scoot & welcome to the Bagger Life!
You will likely never regret getting rid of the stock bars unless you don't go tall enough. It's one of the first things I ditched and one of the best mods for comfort. Also added some some slip-ons to make it sound right.
Haven't added a tuner on mine, instead I will be adding these- http://sales.nightrider.com/Touring_c_16.html and some some V&H Dresser Duals shortly.
The Forum is a great place to learn and get some real input for your decisions on modifications. Enjoy & Happy Trails!
