    Bike came with crash bars, which was cool the one time that I’ve dumped it. Makes it easy to stand the bike back up and protects the 200lbs of chrome on a Magna.

    Swapped out the cruiser screen that the former owner had put on because it caused wind buffeting and seriously impeded visibility with my full-face helmet. Replaced it with a flyscreen (Ben has a review from me on this) from National Cycle, which made the bike a lot more comfortable for me to ride and gave it a sportier look.

    I want to swap out the stock seat for a Corbin or Mustang, with preference going to Corbin. Unfortunately the owner of Corbin is looking to sell his company, which isn’t going to make getting one of his seats any easier.

    Current plan though is to get a pair of bicycle shorts with the padded seat, which is supposed to make riding a lot more comfortable.

    I’ve got an ’82 Yama XJ650 Maxim, so far I’ve put on:

    National Cycle Deflector DX (old plexifaring was scratched and so high I was looking through it instead of over)
    Generic saddlebags
    Generic hiway pegs
    Modded the seat for comfort
    OEM sissy bar with backrest
    OEM luggage rack on the back

    Named it Hermes ;)

    I’m thinking about one of those LED kits if they come in RED so they’ll match my bike (blue’s bad for fouling night vision too)
