Default Dyna dilemma

I'm going to be buying a dyna in the near future and thought I had it narrowed downtothe low rider but heres the problem the super glide is $3000 cheaper. I've already done some looking to upgrade the super glide and this is what I came up with so far that I would need 2-up seat, seat bumpers, pass pegs and mounting kit, highway pegs and mounting kit, am I missing anything else?

Quick detach windshield, saddle bags, sissy bar, sissy bar bag, front fork bag, highway pegs should have stirrups, Stage 1 Upgrade, pipes, $3,000 worth of chrome accessories, tank bra or tank bib, one way ticket to the poor house.

That would be my lowrider. Ordered the fork bag, saddle bags, and highway pegs w/stirrupsa few minutes ago. Bought the seat in Sturgis last week. Rest of the stuff was on the bike when I bought it last week. Does the SG have a tach? you'll want one of those.

Is this worth doing to save a $2500 or should I just go with the first decision the low rider?

Best bet is going with your first instinct.
I did this when I bought my FXD and saved a ton of dough.

Your going to dump money into any bike you get.

Are you buying new or used? I bought mine used with 8k miles on it. List price new on it was over $20k. Paid half that and am spending about $1k on bags, seatsand pegs- useful creature comforts, not chrome (cuz I'm out of money!).
