upgrade the suspension then go for a ride... you dont need the whole 3 grand for a 5 day ride.

Apes, wider front wheel and tire, match the front wheel to the rear then only one wheel is needed. If you do the bars and wheel yourself max your looking at 1 grand, if bought smart, then you have another grand to put in cam and have dyno done, now you have 3 left for long ride, put it in the bank and add to it each week until sturgis add 35 bucks a week and you have another grand that gives you 4 for Sturgis, I imagine one could have a good time on 4 grand.

OK. Are we to assume that somewhere in there you addressed the AFR/engine tuning to compensate for the intake upgrade and resulting lean condition? If not, then that's the next step: get it tuned. Otherwise....

Replace the awful rear shocks with a set of Ohlins from www.motorcyclemetal.com, consider doing something to the fork springs... not necessarily the full-monte just yet... and take the 5-day ride on $2,100, which shouldn't be too hard, if I'm understanding the math on this word problem.
