Not much:
Smoked turn lenses
Smooth timer cover
Pushbutton fuel door release
Short antenna
Streamliner shift pegs
Headlamp bezel
HD aircleaner cover
Removable backrest
Removed tank badges
I got the SG because I liked the stripped down look. Putting a bunch of stuff on it kind of defeats the purpose of owning it in the first place, IMO.

Tech2,
What process did you use to remove the tank badges without damaging the finish?

I, like most, have not done much for add-ons, short antenna, oil cooler, and oil temp gauge.
However, this winter I am:
-Making a custom set of forged wheels, 21" up front, 18" in back.
-Making a custom set of brake rotors up front - matching the wheels.
-Making hubs for wheels above
-Making a custom derby cover out of billet aluminum that matches my tattoo of a bulldog.
-Making a custom air cleaner cover out of billet aluminum that also matches my tattoo of a bulldog.
Next year:
95" motor work - heads, cam, etc. (do work myself)
I'll post pics of the custom work when completed.

Nice looking bike Tech2. I agree completely. I pretty much liked my SG out of the box. Windshield was a must for the longer trips.

I used the dental floss method. Grabbed a piece of floss, inserted it between the tank and badge, and "sawed" my way to the center of the badge, then started from the other side to the center again. I put a piece of masking tape across the center of the badge (vertically) to make sure it wouldn't move or fall off while I was "flossing". When there was a very small amount of the foam tape still left holding the badge at the center, I gently grabbed the ends of the badge and pulled it away from the tank.
Once I got the badges off I found quite q bit of the foam tape was still on the tank. I carefully peeled off as much as I could by hand, and used WD40 to remove the rest. Followed up with a coat of wax, of course.

RE: Street Glide owners
Did mine up this way because I wanted a cleaner custom looking touring bike without all the rails and fender lights etc. For me it's a highway thing rather than a boulevard cruiser.
Chopped Tour Pack - 30 seconds to take off or on.
Passing Lamps - to be seen better.
Smoked signal lenses
Sundowner seat - will never go back to stock though might consider a solo at some point
8" Fastaire smoked windshield and chrome windshield moulding
Stealth Handgrips
Chrome radio bezel and speaker trim
Streamliner shifter peg
This winter:
Color matched hard fairing lowers
Maybe new 18/18 or 21/18 wheels if I can find the right ones at a price I can handle

What did you add and why?
What did you add and why?
Comfort Stitch seat (for riding with SO on back) - SO's comfort
Passenger backrest - so SO doesn't fall off back of bike
Floating Rotors - stop squealing brakes and improve braking
Streamliner passenger footpeg kit - SO's comfort
Cruise control - less strain on wrist for long-distance
Stage 1/SERT - bike runs too lean/hot without them
Air shock pump - to fine tune air pressure for single/two-up riding
H-D 6.5" smoked windshield - stock windshield doesn't give enough protection from buffeting.
Bike cover w/o logo - keep birdshit, rain, whatever off the bike
Possible future additions:
Chrome lowers - aluminum forks are getting pitted from salt air/gravel
