Default Whats worth the value
I just recently purchased a 2014 FLHXS Blackened Cayenne and I put an rc components exhaust and I have lowers on order with upgraded BOOM! Audio System. My issue I am having is I don't know what else I should do for the value (i.e. chrome front end, new HID Headlight, Air Cleaner) Any suggestions would be very helpful.

a chromed front end always looks better, unless you're powdercoating to match the paint job

Powdercoat the sliders black. I just got mine back. Can't wait to put them on.

Since when does adding a bunch of parts add value, especially to a new bike that lost 10% out the door?

I think he is asking which improvements are a good value. Not which add to the value.

I would start with comfort and safety. LED turn signals all around, grips, pegs, or any accessory that will add to YOUR comfort or appeal. Personally chrome looks are last on my list. I like the bike set up for my comfort on rides. Once that is accomplished, then looks are next.
bottom line is make yourself happy! Don't worry about what others think....you be riding her, not us!

try the newly designed fork mounted wind deflectors. They really add a nice touch and also reduce wind buffeting dramatically. Nice quality piece.
