Default Help me spend $$$

I have some cash laying around, not much but some. Looking at a worth while upgrade and wondering what you guys would do. Its either one of these 3 options on an 07 street glide.

1. Air Ride
2. Chrome switches, master cylinder, and control and a chrome inner primary
3. IDS

You get more for your $$ by chroming the front end (fork lowers and cowbells), and sending your wheels to ChromeProsPlating in TX for Chroming. It will give you much more of difference for about the same $$.

Forget air ride, go with Penske shocks. http://www.motorcyclemetal.com/gpage8.html

Howard, fellow HDForums member FastHarley, will set you up with the best shocks you can get. Yes, even better than air.

I agree with Chicago Spike - I tried out the Penske shocks last weekend and they are amazing.

Rather than bling, consider something functional like a GPS and mount.
