Default What to buy: Security, Black head pipe heat shields, or saddlebag crash bars

Me and the wife are going to each give ourselves some mad money with out tax refund. I've been wanting all 3 items, but will need to pick just 1.


Not sure what to pick, but I want all 3, LOL.


Not sure what the black header will look like with my chrome fishies. I really do miss both my security and the protection I got from my saddlebag crash bars and my crash bar bags.


any thoughts?

Consider powder coating some parts, i had my stock heat shields done in black and it only cost about 50 bucks. I did my crash bar and saddlebag crash bars too. Powder coating will stretch that return out.

Seems like a no brainer to me.If bike falls over the security system nor the shields will protect the bags.

I bought my factory security from a online discounter, had dealer install and marry to bike. Installed radio shack siren myself.

Crash bars a must for these 900 lbs beasts then security system which is really not that important and after that go for whatever you want but really don't need .
