Just looking for some ideas from those in the know.....
Uh,,, shoot,,, Can you buy apparel? Helmets?
Stuff for the bike? Uh,,, Nothing I have came from Honda except our covers,,, Eh, probably wouldn't buy 'em again, so,,, :shrug:
Honda Tall Windshield. It's the best.
I can order about anything from any manufacturer....wondered if there were some "must have" items. I plan on getting an Ultimate seat in a seperate transaction. I had Ultimates on both of my Valkyrie's and their comfort is second to none...
ABS brakes. They are described in the owners manual! Make them available in the US.
If it's free money: Centerstand, heated grips, fog lights, maybe the tall windscreen... thing is most of those you can find better and cheaper from other manufacturers. But if they're giving that to you as a sales incentive then why not make the best of it.
Taller windshield, belly pan, tail rack, cup holder, charging port for left glove box, grip covers, handlebar risers, driving lights, and a spare key for the bags. That's about all I have done that I think is essential.
Edit: Oops. Haven't done the driving lights yet.
Better seat I got a Corbin.Forward foot pegs to stretch your legs I got Rivco Aero pegs.More adjustable windshield I got a electric Windbender.That would be the must haves.I did other mods like HID headlights,SuperBrace,K&N air filter and a bunch of light mods but the seat,pegs and windshield would be were I would spend the $1000 .batman-smilie.

Did you sell your Valk or are you going to keep it?
Look forward to seeing you again maybe at one of the F6B events. I purchased an F6B a while ago, but it was taken apart at the dealer and re-painted. Now all of the parts are in WV at MountainMan's for Air Brushing and Graphics.
When you figure out what you want give Teresa a call.

Maybe a Windshield. Maybe Honda LED 'fog' lights (Only if you REALLY want the Honda lights and then only because you can't really get 'em that much cheaper elsewhere.)
Tough part is 1000 'Honda bucks' spent at Honda on aftermarket stuff = $500 or less spent anywhere else,,
Example: Centerstand at OEM prices is just under 300 + installation while a new take-off on ebay is around 100 and an easy install at home.
If you have to spend $$ at Honda, you'll get slightly more 'bang for the buck' on a nice helmet, etc vs paying OEM/aftermarket part prices,,, plus OEM labor prices,,, :icon_frown:
