help me blow money!!!
Just wondering what to buy with my $400 or less budget...
I already have rush 2.25 slip-ons, so I was thinking maby an Arlen Ness Big Sucker.
I want a set of apes too though. 16" 1.25 bars with braided cables for $289 on Ebay new.
I would like a set of shortshots to go with the A/C, but can't afford both. What would you do?

Do you have a tuner? because if you don't adding a Ness Big Sucker will cause more problems than it's worth.How about suspension upgrades? I'm pretty sure $400 will get you a nice set of 412s,Progressive fork springs and oil with change left over.

If it were me....I'd slam it. 300 for the rear, 100 for the front....progressives all the way around. That is my next modification.

If I go with the A/C, how much am I looking at paying for the tuning? And is it worth doing it with only slip-ons instead of new pipes.
Thanks for the feedback.

if you do an a/c then go to the stealer and just have them remap it

I'm confused about the dealer "remap".
Is it a "one size fits all" kind of thing? Or are there different dealer "maps"
No - f'n way I would do just the download. Get a SERT or PCIII or closed loop - whatever. How is it possible that a dealer remap "fits" all combinations? SERT has a gozillion tweeks, and PCIII has a few less than that - but still has a lot. How is it possible that a single dealer download can solve everything????

Agree with everyone - If you change the AC - you need to modify the AF ratio.

I'm not sure what the dealer map is either. If it is the same as a custom map out of the SERT Softwear and then they dyno tweak it, That may be worth it. If it were me I'd stick with the slipons get the big sucker and go with the SERT and a dyno tweak. But that's just me. Do what you really want first. There will be more..... It's a Harley.

I would wait to do pipes, ac and remap or sert all together if I were you.
When I was checking out bars I saw the ebay deal and wasn't a fan, I wanted apes that would not be wider at the base than my fork width. Thats one on the main reasons I went with the Gimp Hangers. They do make a fat gimp hanger model now that I wish I could have bought but I am not complaining.
If it were me, I would either start buying piece by piece for the next major mod, or jsut keep saving until I can do it all at once. But that's just me
