Default What would you do with $5K?

This is question is meant toward customizing my Street Glide and not anything else really, but I am sure random ideas will be thrown out there also.

I have a 2009 Street Glide, it is Black Pearl and pretty much stock except a 21" front rim and CFR Exhaust.

The question is, with $5000 what customizing would you do?

My wish list is:
Drop seat kit
Extended bags
Extended fender
Apes

If there is enough left over, a stereo upgrade.

Thoughts?

If I had $5K to spend on my DG right now,I would install a 180 front tire set-up from Native Customs and a color-matched 2014 Chopped Tour-Pak. Another future addition would be TopShop's stretched bags and rear fender.
Personally,I don't care at all for ape hanger bars and wouldn't waste the money but again,that's only my opinion.

You can do a budget audio upgrade (amp and speakers) for 300 bucks.

a simple upgrade you are correct, had a $300ish set up on my SG, but on the last RG was much more and so will this RG.

Use the money for the ride of your life. Experience's matter more than things. Experience's result in lifetime memories....IMHO
