Default If you had 7,000 for winter mods???

Hello folks,

Well I got my summer riding in on my baby, and I am back down here in Mexico and the school year is off to a good start. If I work my cards right and football season pays off, will have about 7,000 grand over the winter, or at least 5,000 to do some more mods to the my blue/black 2010 FLHTK, as it stand now I am back on the sporty and love that bike as well , but I am a little confused as where to start with continuing more mods. I like the 103 and have done some mods, what you do?? Here is what i have done already:
Painted Flame blue inner fairing
***** G everything: Heated Grips, Derby, timer, floors, mirros, I mean everything ( I know, but I like it)
103 #1 with skull air cleaner cover
Engraved LED winshield
Hill Country 14" apes
LED Lizard lights under the bike
Woods 555 cams
Fuel moto stage one
FM Ceramic headers
T-MAX,
klock werks exhaust 4" straight cut longs
Bagger Nation stereo rockfordfosgate system (road glide house party system: 10 speakers 800 watt and tweeter-pod painted and modified to fit my Limited)
Painted speaker lids and 6x9's in the bags
two punchs in the touring pod
two 6 1/2 in the lowers
two in the fairing
One 400 amp in the tour pack
One 400 one in the fairing,
Mustang pillow seat, backrest and tourpack
plenty SKULLbling.

I am currently on the fence about PM wheels black and blue to match the bike or poweder coating chrome parts on the motor, and adding to the HP, not quite sure how to go about adding more HP, other than what is listed.
IN the end, I would love to have the bike be a show bike, mainly becuase I ride it for about a month and a half out of the year, granted I ride the **** out of it when I am home, and have the mods done in the winter, but I ride my sporty as my daily ride down here in Mexico, becuase I dont want my investment stolen, if you know what I mean. You never see baggers here in Torreon.

Or should I save the mod cash, come home over November break(8days) and ride it fast and hard to Torreon Mexico, I am not afraid fo clod riding, lived in Maine for 7 years. My sporty has not been stolen and Maybe I will have the same luck, but I am not sure. In any case what you do with 7,000 for winter mods to be done for next summer.

7000 ?

leave good enough alone and get a ducati.

I like multiple bikes rather than doing a lot of stuff to one bike.

I ride a sporty down here in mexico as my daily ride to and from work. Not a huge fan of ducati or sport bikes, but I have always wanted a heritage or Road king, do you think that I could be a a decent deal for 7K of either one of these two??

If I had $7K for mods...............and only for mods.......
I'd fly the TwiZted Biker to Maine, put him up and work with him while he got my shovel head in tip top shape. Then I'd party with the left over dough.

Artlee, did you catch the Salmon festival up there, a few buddies of mine from back in the day, Coopper hill guys, and some other guys from Machias were up there playing. I heard it was a good time, I lived in Machias for a good bit.

If I had that much cash to throw at my bike, I would drop in a 120r motor.
