These including shipping are $160 so I saved 4 hours of driving $20+ in gas plus have an extra set in case I decide to go another direction in the future. They must be worth about the $50 extra I spent. Plus just the convenience of having them in the garage ready to go when I get the chance to put them on. What's $50 in the world of Harley?
..plus keeping all your stock parts might pay off for you if you ever want to sell it...

That's what I'm thinking. Just sold me '82 FXR that I had since 1988. Saved most of those parts. Now selling them to finance upgrades for this one. I'll tell you. Big difference between an 82 and a 2012!
