Default Radical Paint or Different pipes or Wheels??

Tryin to decide if I should spend the money on radical paint for my NT or different pipes. I'm pretty happy with my current setup on black cherry and my hooker troublemakers. But...new paint would be nice, and I've always liked big radius.
What do you guys think? (besides do what I want because it's my bike)
I also like that blade wheel

You've got some good pipes, and you said that the paint job was to your likeing too, otherwise you would have bought another color. So that only leaves one thing, RIMS. I ordered a PM Torque rear rim and pully for my 06 FXST. Can't wait, Merry Christmas to me from me!!! Starting with the rear and hope to get the front by Spring time

Have your rims powder coated black.

If you had to pick one, I would suggest the paint. that's the first thing that pops out at you.
Good luck....Maria

Hell, do all three.
Wheels will be the biggest bang you can do.
I wouldn't waste your money on the BR pipes. Your Troublemakers are basically the same thing. Try another design.

I gotta go with a paint job too. I do love the black cherry oem paint but if you could find a good painter and design your own one off paint scheme that would be money.

I second that.

Wheels, I like the Black Cherry paint.

I think wheels may make the biggest difference, but just like anything else it's what you like. My bikehad black cherry paint when I first bought it. Nice color.
I like spokes on HD's.
