Comfort and convenience. The only thing I've done for looks is added trim to the bottom of the windshield. Motor, intake, exhaust all still stock. I have considered changing the pulley to drop the gear ratio.

My money definately went to looking good. Engine runs strong. I hate to tear into an engine thats running good.

'02 lowrider. First thing I did was trade out the clutch and throttle cables for steel braded lines. Then Mustang day tripper seat. Then between $3-4k on headquarters engine work and the tools to do it all. That's the most I spent at any one time. Then chrome covered progressive stocks to lower the rear an inch and a half. Then over time my high compression engine burned out the stock starter - even with compression releases, so I got a bruno starter with more power - and all good chrome so form and function there. Now...just ordered supertrapp supermeg pipes - black. Supposed to get here tomorrow and I can't wait.

Pipes, stage 1, xied's - then handlebars, lights (back), hiway pegs (comfort) and bling- recently PCV and soon AT & cams. I plan to stop there but probably kidding myself.

I think I'll go to some S&S Easy Start cams if this becomes an issue.

Well I'm on it... An SG with a chic pilot already looks good

First thing opening this baby up so it can breath and then possibly building the motor. We are having debates over what direction I should go lol I say it can never have too much power or go too fast!

Performance here, changes to the looks will be subtle, just enough to personalize. Like the balance of black and chrome that the bike came with.

Comfort and convenience for me, as I like to take LONG rides.
