Hello, I think your list is pretty thorough. The cheaper things I've added were the headlight visors, concho and leather accessories. The more expensive additions were, avon 'gangster' whitewalls, lowered front fender, hi/lo rider air ride in back, chubby beach bars, solo seat and saddlebag covers from c & c .

The reason I asked about positioning compared to stock is that I'm 5'-9" with a 30" inseam and the stock seat works OK for me. I really want to avoid any solo seat that either raises seat height or moves me any further back than the stock seat.

You won't go wrong with the C and C solo, you will be sitting at least 1" lower than HD stock seat. I was using a Le Pera Bare Bones solo, which is about as low as you can go! But the c and c is more comfortable.

How you like the Gangster Avons? I've jet to get a review on them. Ride? Handling? Hard to clean?

I like them, had them for a year and a half now. They aren't any harder to clean than the Harley whitewalls, the rear tire is always a pain to clean!! They have a really good tread, they handle fine on the highway and seem fine to me on the turns. But I got them for the look and a friend owed me some money so it was a win-win!
That's a great paint job! Nice color scheme, I almost got a roadking with those colors but I ended up with the black.
