| 2 sets of head lights for a total of 6 air horn 14 inch wide running board/leg deflectors 4x8 inch passenger foot rest saddle bags led back lights and reflectors larger battery and spare battery phone device charger. Car Tire on back [love it. ONLY reason not to have a DS tire is ZERO runflat capability like reg bike tires have.] FYI also carry air compressor, spare belt, all tools needed, flash lights, tire repair stuff, 6'x6' picnic blanket

| Instead of all those lights.....I would invest in some real riding boots, instead of tennis shoes. |

| I like all the running lights. No doubt, they'll see you coming and going! I like the panniers, too. You're all set up for traveling. Got any big rides planned when the winter is over! |

| Paul Jr designs by Coleman saddle bags.
i ride to work and its dark when get off so need all those lights to be seen.
tennis shoes? ridding boots for road trips.
Road trips? only do day trips 100-250 miles a day avg. might do some 2-3 day trips this summer.
forgot to mention i cut the givi windshield down so i could see over top when its raining. and the dark side tire in the rear. love the tire. |

| I've done most of the typical mods, especially the lighting upgrades since I many times commute to work and may have to ride in when I work early before light or come home after dark when I work late. Added 2 front LED lights (several posts on mounting), LED taillights, LED Admore lightbar, LED lights in Givi (taillights only) and Volo Deceleration light. I've also added a dual USB port in glove box, dual USB port on handlebar and single USB port under seat. So far I've only found myself using the handlebar USB ports for phone. Maybe some of others will get used this summer on longer trips. Center mount Garmin GPS, FOBO TPMS monitor, 26g Dr. Pulley Sliders, MotoCentric saddlebags/tailbag, Givi tunnel bag and Cee Bailey windscreen. Don't really see any need for further mods right now. |

| Added new lug box and saddle boxes set on a 1/4" aluminum plate, all LED lights except for main HLs. also added an extra larger battery set under seat with a rocker connect, [reason] easy to forget to leave lights on, dead battery? no prob lift seat work switch viola,
already had wide body foot rests including passenger pegs, dark side tire .. 2nd tire [DS] this one has 60k mile warranty. had this wing for 2 years and have put 18,000 miles on it .. added a leather seat cover and extra padding.
ONLY issue so far and it has 40k miles, starter button sticks [it has a kill aspect to turn lights off when engaging starter when released lights stay off] simply nudge the switch till can get in and clean contact.
MONKEY BUTT cure ..... go without any undies, and or use bicycle wiker shorts .. THEY work.

| I'm impressed by your method of adding side-cases but do they not make the bike rather tail-heavy, especially when cornering? |
