Got this around 2007 it was bone stock and looked identical to the stock pic. Luggage rack included. I also go the storage box... Anyway here's a list of what I have done:

-Got rid of seat, made my own (will be making another one this winter)
-Swapped stock mufflers for Screaming eagles. Cut the bracket between the pipes and flipped it mounted on the other side of the bike

-Removed all stock signals, taillight, rack
-Removed stock cluster, lights, gauges, mirror
-Removed all extra tabs from frame cleaned up welds
-Removed rear shocks, using Rebel shocks 10.5"
-Professional Metallic Silver flake paint on tank, side covers, and rear fender, not running a front fender now but possible
-Relocated ignition in side marker mount and rewired
-Tombstone style taillight
-Drag Bars 2.5" pull back
-Raised front about 2"
-Tires

-Carbs Rebuilt
-All gaskets replaced
-New crush Gaskets
-New petcocks
-New Points

Wanting to get done this winter:
-New hand controls probably retros from dime city
-Possibly Headlight
-Mini Speedo with lights for signals
-Making new seat that sits more into the bike and rides up fender for my lady
-Possible complete rewire
-Plug wires
-Brake cable
-Frame repaint
-top end painted black
-Buffing and polishing
