Definitely get Deans exhaust. Killer price compared to other bikes I've owned and no bike around town will sound as good as yours with it, I assure you. Thumps like the V Twin beast it was built to be! I got the exhaust with 44T sprocket and matching tune and the bike is honestly perfect now, couldn't ask for anything more!
I agree with the main options already listed - Twisted Designs bracket, CRG Arrows, and Dean Adams (I have all three on my SX).
Other than those...
Send in dash for update.
Replace starter if yours is made in July 2014 or earlier.
On a SX, I don't particularly like the look of the exhaust pipe showing, so I bought a stock bellypan for a RX and will be adding that to the SX. Then I think I'll have the best of both worlds.
I always like the front brake scoop of the RX, so I ordered that from EBR. Very happy with it and very cheap.
Remove all those warning stickers. Lol
Adding the accessory power socket makes it much easier to go on long rides. I can now run a gps while I ride or at least charge my phone so it doesn't die when I'm far from home.
When you remove your rear turn signals, you can swap them up to the front. They tuck in tighter to the bike.
Although not without compromise, I have the T-Rex sliders. If the bike gets knocked over in a parking lot or by me being stupid in my garage, I'm hoping it will save some damage. In a bigger wreck, it could cause frame damage, but I'm imagining that even without the frame sliders, a wreck at speed would have frame damage anyway.
Of course, it's a matter of taste, but I've done a decent bit of carbon fiber on mine from Bestem, and I get a lot of compliments on it from other bikers.
When you take off the stock mirrors, you'll need (2) M10 x 1.25 bolts. It's not a very common size, so make sure to pick them up before you get started. I could only find them in 20mm length, which was too long, so I had to cut them down with a grinder.
If you do long rides, you might like the Knight designs drop pegs. I don't have them, but a friend of mine does and he is very happy with them.

Very nice!
do you have a better pic of those arrow mirrors fro drivers position. I LIKE THE LOOK OF THE PIPE EXPOSED. JUST BLACK CERAMIC COAT IT.
What type of issues do they have with the starters?

This tech update was released by EBR after that thread. "1190 Starter Update Info!
The manufacturer of the 1190 RX/SX starter made a quality improvement to the seal to address the water intrusion / corrosion issues many owners have been experiencing. The starter has a sticker with a date code on it formatted YYYY/MM/DD. The improvement was implemented on the lot with the date code 2014/07/29 Everything with that date code and newer had the improvement. See attached photo of the sticker. "
Great info. Thanks. i will check it out tomorrow.
On starter, not necessarily a big deal. My RX starter is within the "bad" date...it's been in the rain for two winters now, with no ill effects.
I see no one has mentioned one of the biggest things to for bike safety, at least engine safety is case covers. No frame protectors will protect the cases properly.
There are two current styles, carbon fiber and a molded plastic. I have both, the carbon fiber on my old 1125CR and the newer plastic ones on my RX. Both are still available I believe.
I could have used them last year. I went down in the rain. The bike slid about 60 yards down the freeway. Ground the left side case almost thru..!
A case guard/cover would have prevented that..!

This is awesome! Thanks so much for this one
