Took old worn out saddle bags off, I think it looks WAYYYYY better without them. Next thing to go will be the OEM exhaust. What else?

What should I do to this stock beauty?? New pipes are on the list but not sure what should be next.
P.S. The ugly bags are coming off, I am going to color matching hard shell ones very soon.
Bike wouldn’t start after refueling and then just tapped the terminal connection and the bike started on its own.
Now the bike will only start by either tapping this or jump starting it.
Anyone dealt with this before??
My guess is starter switch?..
Got this for my pops just cause. He likes my 36” but it’s just him and mom in a town house. They don’t need a big one. Start to finish seasoning, I think it looks great!!
I am the 2nd owner, bike has 11,500 miles on it, filled bike full of premium fuel 4.1 gallons, burned through all fuel and even reserve in 80 miles.
Any one who has VTX have this problem? Or anyone with any possible solutions?
Also, bike will file fine for a while then after riding for about 20-30 miles when bike is idling, it will just die and then takes a few try’s before it will start again.
Any help is appreciated.
