My vote would be the shocks. Surprised you haven't gotten them already with all the stuff you've already bought. then as money permits go with the diamondback cables. IMO.

Sorry...I aint with the shock guys here. You're riding a wide glide....and a pretty tricked out one at that. Improved suspension is always nice...but performance and handling really isn't the main point of (our) bikes anyway....Your ride is lookin killer man....finish with the details first. Your bike is begging for those diamondback cables. I have them and love them. I may do a shock upgrade eventually...maybe....but I'm definitely gonna finish up on all the chrome/show details first.
Just my .02
Enjoy!

Todd

I agree with Todd. Go for the cables. The stance of your bike is already perfect.

Well, I decided and went with the progressive shocks... I have a few things for sale on Ebay at the time, so with the profits from that, I'll buy the braided cables. By the way, check out my listings on ebay, my username there is vato-loco66.
