Hmmm…

Intruder 800: progressive shocks, progressive fork springs, EBC brakes, EBC clutch, metzeler tires, removed sissy bar, added seat from an S50, clear turn signal lenses, ISO grips, ‘no pork’ brand throttle lock, leather tank cover, drilled factory exhaust, chrome wide levers, modified turn signal mounts, run-brake-turn controller, highway pegs. My favorites are the metzelers, progressives, and highway pegs.

Harley FLH: belt primary, 47 tooth rear sprocket, Avon tires, progressive fork springs and shocks, vented primary cover, CV carb with modifies slide & improved jets, K&N air filter, Andrews cam, over bored, higher compression pistons, fishtail drag exhaust, tank emblems from a ’62, heal guard on floorboards, single-fire ignition, 44-amp alternator, gerbing electric gear hook up, saddle bag rails, ISO grips, thump actuator for factory throttle lock, Le Pera solo seat, Mustang rear fender bib, polished stainless brake rotors, quick release batwing fairing, quick release radio caddy with AM/FM/CD (for long trips), HD dry clutch, three-angle valve job, oversized intake and exhaust valves, fresh custom pearl white paint, buffalo leather tank divider, extended rear brake pedal, push-on/ push-off turn signal switches, high-flow petcock, stainless steel plug wires, rear three-rail luggage rack, quick release tour pac for long trips, highway pegs on crash bars

Intruder 1400: leatherlyke saddle bags, lazy-rider backrest bag, extended sissy bar from a Harley Dyna, shimmed clutch, Metzeler tires, lowered progressive shocks, EBC brakes, Sylvania silverstar headlight, run-brake-turn controller, aftermarket turn signals, engine guard, highway pegs, K&N filters, re-jetted carbs, gerbing electric gear hook up

CMC Custom: S&S super stock motor, rev tech transmission, custom wheels, continental tires, forward controls, ape hangers, Rasp exhaust, custom paint, HD diaphragm clutch, saddleman seat, Santee raked frame, extended forks…in short, there is literally not one single factory part on the whole bike.

Here's my biggest mod. It's a headlight fabrication/retrofit that corrected one of the biggest gripes about 2nd generation Bandits. At least five other people have done this based on my procedure.
