Hello and welcome! Sounds like a tough choice - too good vs too good. Maybe your future plans can help. If you plan to do highway cruising, the shield and bags will help. A bobber or cafe mod maybe, or just leave it the way it is and enjoy? I found I really like the size and style. In town, it's nimble and quick, and because there are so few here in western WA it gets a lot of looks. Time to hit the highway, just hang on. Plenty of giddyup. Now that I've been no help at all, just go with your gut. It's a pretty simple bike, and folks on this site can help you with ANYTHING that needs fixed. Enjoy!
