When I got me 31 sw I had a 4 prong approach not to say it is needed . Just what I thought was needed for touring.

1) safety ( seat belts ,blinkers,third brake light ,battery shut off, fire extingisure (sp),cast iron drums,safety glass )
2) driveabilty ( 16 rims with tubeless tires, f-100 steering gear,lightened fly wheel with v8 clutch and pp, A/C,cup holder, 4spd O D syncronized transmission, B balanced engine with inserts, modern points/dist , floato motor mounts)
3) reliability ( temp gauge, pressurized radiator with overflow bottle ,6 blade plastic fan,oil filter,high boy air filter )
4) lookability ( What ever one likes )
