10 cheap mods (less than $50.00 each).
1. Rear license plate relocation.
Just move it up over the reflector...it looks much better and it's a free mod.
2. Grip upgrade.
The hardest part of this upgrade is choosing the adhesive. I used silicone.
3. De-badging.
Another freebie. It just takes a little elbow grease.
4. Step 1 exhaust mod.
Pay your local Home Depot a visit and pick up the needed tools to drill out your baffle screen as per the instructions on the Deplhi Knowledge Base. A little more sound is always a good thing, but it's like a drug...you'll want more. I ended up de-baffling mine and I posted a thread here in the "How-to" section with pics.
5. Reflector removal.
I was mixed on this one. I was concerned about the safety side of it, but I hardly ride at night so off they came. A definate improvement....especially to the forks.
6. Mirrors.
You can't beat the visabilty of the stockers, but a nice billet mirror looks great. You can pick up a nice set from $25-$50 usually. Watch out for plastics. Some mirrors have billet brackets but plastic heads...others have plastic mirror glass.
7. Air cleaner cover.
This is a simple mod that really changes things. Just find an "air cleaner insert" for an Evo Harley and install it on top of your cover. I've bought 2 from eBay from around $20.00 each. I also posted a thread on the mod in the cruiser section.
8. License plate frame.
I can't believe how many bikes I see that just have a plate bolted on. A nice chrome frame really adds to the rear of the bike. I picked one up at Wal-Mart.
9. Lenses.
Many options here. Most people go with smoke or clear lenses. I just did red w/ blue dots on the rear turn signals. You can even go to a clear taillight lens. Check your local laws first!
10. Add a Tool bag.
Since there is no storage room on a Custom, a tool bag mounted on the bars or frt end really comes in handy. I usually have an enegy drink and a biscuit in mine when I ride it to work.

There are many more (like brake reservoir covers) but I said I'd list 10
. Just trying to give the new guys ideas.
