OK, so you have a new bike (or used, doesn't really matter). Everything on it is straight from the factory. You know you want to make it your own, so now what? Why, add some accessories, of course!
Where you go is up to you; I have a few favorites that I often go to but there are many places out there. (You can see where I like to shop by checking out my links). The first thing that I went for was a new seat and new exhaust. OK, who am I kidding? I bought the bike with them already on! They are nice though - anyone that is looking for a new seat, I would highly recommend a Mustang seat. I took a 2 hour ride today with no stops and had no complaints whatsoever. The pipes are Vance and Hines pipes and they are flippin' loud. Always make sure to jet the carbs when messing with the intake or exhaust. Running the bike too rich or too lean can cause you problems down the road.
The first customization that I did myself was to replace the pegs, front and rear, and to throw on some nice chrome covers over the brake and shift peg. I also replaced the bezels on all my signals. I love Kuryakyn parts and have pretty much replaced everything on my bike with something from Kuryakyn. The next things I changed were my grips and mirrors. I got rid of the old style round mirrors in place of some streamlined ellipses and I replaced the crappy stock grips with some very comfy ISO grips from, you guessed.
I have some more to do, but I need to take a break for fear of having to move into the garage when my wife finds out how much I spent.
So that's what's on my bike at the moment, what have you done to make your bike your own?
