how about just spend $20k on chrome for your current bike and a yellow paint job?
I bet it'll be virtually the same thing...

If the price didn't drive you away initially then I assume you can afford it. I say go for it. You only live once.

They always gonna leave the door open on some accessories no matter what you buy.

I agree. I noticed a few other things it was missing as well like the H-D LED lights I figured it would come with.

Sort of, but then the practical side of me thinks I would be way better off financially to put the $40 Large in my retirement account and let it stew for another 20 years.
