Default HELP!

okay heres the deal. I went to the dealership today to see what it would cost me for a 1200 conversion, with a sage 1 upgrade. Now heres the rub, I am also intrested in putting the AME front end kit on the bike as well. Now they both cost roughly the same amount of cash to do, after parts and instalation. I am fully aware that I wont be able to do both at the same time, do to the expense. Which do you guys think I should invest in first?

Personally for me the power would come first.I'm not you however and you need to do what makes you happier with your bike.I also wouldn't be doing any type of work that consumed more than one day during riding season but I live in Paif I lived in FLA I would ride year round.I have ridden two days after Christmas in 35 degree weather because I had an itch the wife couldn't scratch.Lol.
