Your bike, your call. Don't see in reason a bunch of strangers on the Internet will give you want you want on your bike. A man's bike is a very personal thing.

Do what floats your boat and enjoy man.

Good shocks, brake upgrade and fork improvements will give you more bang for the buck than bling wheels etc.
I'm not a fan of the solid rear wheel, would like matching front and rear wheels....lol

Shock and brake upgrades for sure. Dont think I need to
Spend more on the engine.
Maybe different pistons at some point.

Cheaper to get them from the dealer.
Those wheels are around $600 each.

Instead of progressive 422's, get Works Performance Light Duty shocks. They cost more but are really that much better.

I don't like the front wheel you currently have. In the early 90's, Softail Customs came with a solid disc on the rear and spokes on the front. I like that look still but since that time, many people have gotten to dislike it, preferring a matched wheel set.

I don't like the fat spoke trend that is popular now.

I think most wheels for bikes are ridiculously overpriced. If you want a spoked wheel that is truly custom, have a look these. They have more options and combinations than you can count.

I don't like your mirrors. Those hog tunes speakers or whatever they are look like Madonna's bra and are distracting from the rest of the looks of the bike.

My number one recommendation is ride it! Some guys just keep modifying and modifying their bikes without ever riding it at which point it starts to become dress up Barbie. Save the mods for winter unless something is broken. Ride the **** out of it the rest of the year.
