    Hi,

    Just picked up my first HD. 2016 sportster roadster. I know alot of HD guys hate them etc. but I rate it highly. Sold my 2008 R1 to buy it.

    Ive done stage 1 kit. Still unsure about future mods. I do like the chopper look eg. bigger bars, white walls, spoked rims etc. but love the sporty feel.

    I currently just cruise around Brisbane south side area. Would be keen to meet up with other sporty riders and chat tech etc.

    Welcome bud, nice ride!

    Have you considered for your list:

    • tail tidy - you have a tuff looking rear fender, get it exposed and free of the number plate if you can;
    • bar end mirrors - free the top of the bars up for a cleaner more agressive look;
    • black CRG levers - darken up the front a touch (or run the slotted harley levers - I forget the name of the collection they come from);
    • The air cleaner cover - I'd look to putting something black (maybe a chisel cover?);
    • and remove those orange reflectors - neaten up the front forks.

    That's about where I'd start, but TBH the bike looks good as it sits...you could just ride it and be happy ;)
