They're about the same price. I need to pay the house insurance, obviously, but with springtime near, all I can think about is getting my bike right. This is a serious question, what would you do? I'm looking for some backup I guess
Very honestly I am having a hard time understanding this question.
Local HD dealer quoted me about $600 for risers and cable work. Roughly the same as my semi-annual house insurance payment. I have a fairing, yes, but I need the bars back and a little up. I'm getting a lot of shoulder and upper back pain. I may just buy them on ebay and do the work myself, like the above suggestion.
I'll send some pics....
Not to be too nosey...but you did throw it out there. Is your house paid for? If not I would imagine the lender will require you to carry insurance. I don't know where you are but in NC if you let your insurance lapse they send a notification to the lender. Your question may be in vain??
If your home is paid for you should have plenty of extra $$$

Pay your home insurance. That's what I would do. It may not be exactly like you want it right now but I'll let you in on a little secret...It will never be exactly like you want it.
You can still ride your bike like it is and save for mods.
If something happens to your home could you and your family live in the bike?
