Default fiscal control

My budget has changed solely due to dwindling supplies..

Last summer I planned over the winter: shotgun shocks, then repaint a scratched fender, if at all possible redo my seat and call it good for 2015 season..

Then it became possible to get true HD factory cruise control--waay out of budget, but very well could be that if I didn't do now, I can't ever have it for this bike..

Immediately following that, I see the completely hidden internal cables and reservoirs option..coolest thing I've ever seen but blows up any remnant of a season budget..
I really wanted some mag wheels and thunder max tuner and ditch the SE tuner but no effn way now..
Am I alone here?
Does your budget morph based on what's available right now?

i think your first plan sounded best (shot gun shock, paint, and seat. but if cruise control is that important to you then you probably have to go that way. Why will cruise not be available at another time? is it limited time availability? I guess i dont understand.

but to answer your question, i get tunnel vision on the things that i want so it take a lot to take my mind off it until i get it.
