I've ridden bikes most of my adult life and finally got my first Harley. It's gonna need some cosmetic work to get it where I want it to be, so I'm looking for affordable options to give it a nice look. I bought it off a guy that did a couple things, a little chome here and there, but I really don't care for that "cruiser/tour" look. I'm not a millionare so the process will be slow, and I'd love to know if there is a website or store that might sell some used parts. The exhaust on this thing is stock, so needless to say, THAT has to go. Where should I start? Drag bars? Drag pipes? chrome covers? rims? shocks? I'm open to most any advice. Thanks
