When I bought the Limited the first thing I did was do the stage 1; mainly for the sound, then torque, then looks. The Mustang "Lowdown" was due to the short inseam. But, to answer the question, if I have to choose between looks and speed I would take looks. However, comfort is in front of looks for me...

I'm reasonably new to the Harley world and the previous owner of my bike had already done the A/C, duals and power commander upgrades which make the bike as fast as I need it to be. While I have put one piece of pure bling chome on it everything I do will be for comfort and reliability

1) Comfort: windshield, backrest, highway pegs, apes (possibly)
2) Fix the shortcomings of the FLTRX: shocks, radio speakers, stage 1
3) Performance: cams until warranty expires, then 120R.
4) Looks: Stretched tank, solo seat, stretched bags if they don't affect cornering clearance, 21" front wheel if it doesn't affect handling.
I personally could not imagine buying stretched tank and bags before replacing the pitiful/shameful/jarring stock rear shock, for example.

I just wanna ride!
Function/Reliability, comfort, strong running ride, little details to personalize it. I've never been interested in sitting and cleaning and polishing. Doesn't interest me. I've had my '02RK since it was new and have functional bits to make it right for me. Other than that, slip-on's, SE A/C, and a rejet are good enough for me.
With that said, I have a Tequila Sunrise SG on order, and I KNOW it will kill me to see it dirty. But still, function/reliability and comfort are king!
