I just made the move from a sporty to a '17 street bob. Pretty stoked. My sporty had a lot done, and was kind of "club" style.
I will most likely lean that way again...just what I like...
I bought some 12" w.c. Mxt bars so far... Don't like the apes angle on my wrist
​​but where to start after that? I am not rich. I ride a lot and do some long multi day rides. But mostly in town.
for me its between the stage 1,
or a rifle fairing w/ 15" screen to block some wind and make the highway more enjoyable and a better seat..lucky Dave or something.
if you had $1000 where would it go?

 

Power Vision, Thunderheader & DK Customs air cleaner.

Buy used next time.

 

I wanted brand new , un molested. Have never had a new vehicle in my life.. It's been awesome. I don't regret it at all.
stage 1 over comfort... That's also what I was thinking....

 

Nice. Welcome to the fxdb club. I also bought new, who doesn't like shiny new things ?!

$1000...I'd focus on comfort mods first. Sounds like you'll be riding your bike often. Performance mods you can do after. You have a 103, it's not shy on power. Ride it about 500-1000 miles, then see what aches or what you prefer. You may jump right to a fairing if you fatigue out from the hwy winds or you may want a better seat or rear shock setup if you ride bumpy roads. Mods are endless but I'd say comfort before performance first if funds are limited.

the stock shocks are junk FYI. That was my first upgrade with a new seat.

 

First mod on my sporty was Exhaust, also was on my SB

I would buy a 2 to 1 pipe first, takes better part of the 1K. The rest would be air intake upgrade and a tuner. Seat can wait. That's my idea

 

Thanks for the responses,
so 2 for stage 1 , 1 for comfort.

I agree with both sides. Ha ha.
I do like the 103 power compared to the sporty.
Which makes me think I should do comfort first... Can always make it faster when I get bored.
But the stock pipes are so lame.... To quiet..
Decisions decisions

 

Glad you're enjoying the new ride; a proper tuner, exhaust, and A/C will increase your enjoyment even further...

 

All the advice above is bad....



takeout a second mortgage and get a s&s 124ci or 143ci engine first... then build around it. After that... a turbo.... then a set of Knight Industries red leds to run across the front of your triple trees so that when the bike is talking to you or scanning the area, you can tell. "Micheal..."

 

There, I fixed it for ya.

 

Get a LED headlight!
