Tough call.... I'd do the air ride and cam for the Deluxe.... but if you're touring a lot these daze that 6th gear would come in sweet for the RK. Besides, the air rides are dropping their value, I don't see the trannys getting any cheapper... so, second thought put on the tranny first, you'll get a sweeter deal on the air ride a bit later...

Good luck,

Mimo.

No need for a 6 speed. I say go for the air ride.

The 6 speed not that great. THe cams would be my pick. But get some bump sticks that will sound off good, Like all Harleys should. Then my second pick would be air ride.

Air ride then cams. The tranny can wait unless there is problem with the current one.

Cams for sure, but why mild?

I'd do cams. No real need for the tranny, just a luxury. If you're gonna spend the down time and cash, I'd get something a touch above "mild" or else you might be wishing you went for more a year or two down the road. I know I do... especially since a little hotter cam isn't really any more money than a mild one.

I'd go with the cams, as well.
