Be aware that youll spend EVERY dime you can on it.

I havent added much to my bike yet, they have meetings to control the urge..... I attend often.

I have the Custom with forward controls and really like it. I got the Kuryakyn pegs with the stirrups which make it very comfortable to ride, and allows you to easily stand on the pegs when you see that pot hole at the last second.

Let me know how you like the progressives.
