As mentioned if you want to stretch your buck you should be able to do all you mentioned for that amount of money. All of it should be doable by you but I am thinking your worse case would be the chrome lowers and if your not comfortable doing them you should at least be able to tear the front end apart and take the forks to a good mech or the dealer and they can do this within an hour. So you could figure another 80 dollars to have someone else do it. Maybe less.

Even if you have a dealer do it your looking at 4 hours of labor so about $350

So do just about everything. Hold off on the solo bag and fender bib.

You definitely want the chrome front

And i remember you posting a pic of your man cave (garage) theres your room.

Don't let your bike intimidate you.... It's a bike not your wife.....lol...jk!

+1 Im with BLK, get yourself a shop manual and save the money. Dont give the stealership more then what you already gave them...plus you'll take more pride in doing it yourself.

If nothing else, do the Bars. It will change the whole look of your bike.
