That's my fault . . . I changed the title after the fact to try to consolidated this thread into a two into one type of thing.
Update: I decided to get a chromed Samurider.com rack that was available for sale from another member here and order the SW-Motech black painted crash bars from Twisted Throttle. My bike is still factory stock with respect to the chrome rear fender, and been modified to have a black shorty front fender, so I think these two accessories should integrate quite well on to my all black, standard model.
Besides these latest mods, my bike has been accessorizes with a Delkevic intermediate pipe connected to an Emgo reverse megaphone muffler exhaust combination, a mini wind deflector made by Puig and a very unusual oil cooler auxiliary cooling fan attachment with on/off control handlebar mounted switch. The latter was of my own design and does seem to aid in engine oil cooling at slow speeds.
I also added a Trail Tech backlighted digital readout miniature device attached to the center of the handlebars to display EOC temperature and battery voltage.
The last two mods were kind of off beat, but they integrated well together. I did these mods on a strict budget, so for the money spent, I am very satisfied.
The only other mod to be considered - notwithstanding a real budget buster unfortunately - would be a better seat!
