Default want advice

This is the plan as of now trying to do some preventive maintenance and upgrades but have to stay on the cheap to keep peace in the house. Going to go with just replacing the chain tensioners(no gear drive). If I can swing it I might upgrade the cam. Looking to purchase adjustable push rods, the cost versus the top end gaskets will pay for its self if I go back into it again. I have the SE slip ons on bike now so will take money saved from gear drive project am will try to do the AC upgrade and PC111 usb. I think I can keep cost around the 500 mark doing the work myself. Am I on the corect path with my plan?

Personally, I'd call an exterminator!

SE adjustables $111 from a 20% dealer
AN Big Sucker about $120
PCIII from Fuelmoto about $280
You still haven't gotten to the tensioners and cams.
I would get the S&S chain drive cam install kit that includes all the good bearings.
