I agree with Chaz. Fuel management and pipes should be the first order of the day.

I suggest you ride it. I think too many here spend more money on their bike than miles on their odometer.

It's pipes, fuel management and air. You'll want to do this just to get the bike running cooler and make it sound like a Harley should sound!

I would definitely get it running cooler. You could do this with just the PCV. But I would suggest getting the pipes and High flow A/C as well. If you were looking at a grand on the air ride you could do the stage 1 for roughly the same money.

Having known that my stock seat would be so uncomfortable that would have been my first mod. I believe the first thing I added on my bike was the engine guard, if you can even count that as a mod?? Second, I put saddlebags and the windshield. Third...my Mustang solo seat. Forth, mufflers and SE A/C.

I definitely recommend making it sound like a harley should. Get pipes!!

If you find yourself bottoming out, then yes I vote for the suspention. However, my personal choice is for the pipes!!!! Facotory sound is terrible.
