Default HELP!

okay heres the deal. I went to the dealership today to see what it would cost me for a 1200 conversion, with a sage 1 upgrade. Now heres the rub, I am also intrested in putting the AME front end kit on the bike as well. Now they both cost roughly the same amount of cash to do, after parts and instalation. I am fully aware that I wont be able to do both at the same time, do to the expense. Which do you guys think I should invest in first?

BTW I posted this same message in the sportster section as well.

I'd go for the 1200 conversion first.

Front end or 1200 upgrade. Hard to say.
