Help spend some money...

Hey guys, help me spend a little money... i have $250 in harley gift cards. What dealer type performance upgrade would you suggest?

Or should I just use it some new riding gear and go else where for performance upgrades?

My list of upgrades i want to do:
DynoJet power vision
V&H big shots
Good AC upgrade that still fits behind stock cover...? I kind of like the look of some of the SE elite breathers.
Also thinking about some progressive 444.

Appearance wise:
- 14" bars.
- new grips

Fwiw, i ride a '13 SB. 1/2 the time 2-up.

Get something for comfort since you ride 2 up half the time. I should have done that first. My wife and daughter won't ride with me that much because of it.

250 won't get you any performance upgrades other than ac. Get heated grips or something. Just an opinion.

My thoughts exactly. Wasnt sure if i should hold on to the gift cards or just blow it on gear and save for performance goodies from elsewhere.

Oil, filters, cable lube, touchup paint. etc. Enough to last the life of the bike.

I would spend it on things that you would actually get from the dealer anyway, rather than choosing things they have when you would likely prefer something aftermarket (like pipes, bars, etc). I think cggorman is spot on! spend it on a whole bunch of maintenance stuff, since you would likely get a lot of that at the dealer anyway!

Use that 250 on an oil cooler or security

Try to find an older/discontinued models that are still in warehouses being sold through to maximize discounts.
