We bought the kid a new 883 Sportster a while back as a gift for attaining some educational milestones. Since then she's been tweaking it here and there and has done ALL of the work herself.
The sissy bar came from a custom builder here in Utah. Bought a custom heavy leather holster to hang from it and I donated the MSR bottle that fits it for her emergency reserve gas.
After that she pulled off the pipes, put aftermarket cans on it and wrapped the exhaust herself (I wasn't on board with that decision and wasn't consulted beforehand). Then she replaced the bars and rerouted the blinkers. One day she pulls up in her car and asks me if she can use the bench grinder. I said yes. I heard her grinding away and after about 20 minutes she left. She had bought the 'bolt-on' aftermarket air filter mount in the pic that didn't 'bolt-on'. Came back about an hour later and showed it to me. After that she ordered the seat in the pic and some other minor odd's and ends (like the derby cover). She's now looking at putting on white wall tires. Does all her own oil changes too.
