What a long list... wrecked my 06 SB in thr early fall and picked up an 07 for cheap in the winter. So I have a long list to get my old bike back.
14" apes haven't decided on which ones
Slammer shocks (going leave the front alone this time)
Carbon flash metallic paint job on the tins (+ fxstc decal)
Homade 2-3" tank lift
Floorboard
V&h side shots
21" & 18" wheels
120 & 180 tires
Wide triples
Dkcustoms coil/horn relocation
Swingarm bag (not installed but going to try the lowered install found on this forum by searchinf)
Homemade front turn relocation
Getting rid of the brake light.. doing the run-brake-turn dodaddle. Thinking about getting an led strip tail light
30T-70t
Serpt
And a ton of powder
I guess the 5k I got when my bike was totalled went a long ways. But my gf talked me into getting another pup today so some of that went to her. If anyone is interested in a pit pup in about 2 years let me know

Oh yeah, pan seat and hairpin springs. Just because the 07 came with a 2up seat and i dont have a solo. But i have a pan that i got shorter springs for since it was too tall.
And I really really want to do the swingarm fender like robbie but I think I have enough on my plate. Unless he wants to make me one...

First winter for the 2012 WG, so my shopping list is a bit long.
Already have the 1" over Progressives on back and their springs in front, and the Rineharts 2 into 1's came a few days ago.
Basically headed towards a stage 2 upgrade.
Heads ported, and bigger valves, etc.
cometic copper head gasket
Big Sucker or ? air cleaner
Power Vision
Either Woods 777 or S&S 585 cams
Mini apes
Front fork tubes extended
Heated grips
For a starter anyway, lot depends on how much funding I have

Just picking up stuff when-ever I see a fair-good deal that I will need down the road.
So far, new rear tire180/65B-16 (81H) Dunlop American Elite Rear Motorcycle Tire from Rocky Mountain ATV $204 shipped. 3-new rotors and brake pads, right at $300 from KC-int. New set of saddlebag lid covers $150. Sold a few things too though to make up for some of the loss.I consider it a pro-active approach/stance.
