What would you do?

I have a 2015 48 sportster (used... heck of a deal) and cant decide whether to keep it or go softail. If i keep it i would do a stage 1 and put some mini apes on. Im hesitant spending that money.... because i do feel the itch to go with a low rider or deluxe at some point... and dont want to toss that money. The biggest issue for me now is the peanut tank... not too much mileage out of that. Im tempted to keep it and buy used softail but would feel guilty with 2 bikes (family expenses etc) and feel i would not be able to put enough miles on both to justify it. Decisions....

Is your monthly income $771 or more? If so you may be able to get that bike of your dreams.

If your thinking 2018 plus softail, do it. Sweet handling bikes that way outclass the Sportster chassis, and with a decent amount of poke in the M8 even in standard trim.

Sounds like you already have your mind's eye thinking about up-grading.
ANY money you put into the Sporty will be for your personal pleasure. Don't expect to "get it back".
Since you asked...I'd recommend you stop spending money on the Sporty and tart shopping for a Low Rider. You've got a bike to ride, so you don't need to be in a hurry. You might be surprised what shows up on the pre-owned market if you take you time.
