Default Need some help deciding...
Guys, as you know I am new to the touring club... :-)

Trying to decide which to do first...

Should I get the power commander etc. or should I go with the Chrome Wheels first...

Also, I am purchasing some Super Trapps if anyone has them can you tell me how you like them and any tips you might have on how to use the disks.

If I get the power commander how much am I looking to spend also what all is needed to complete the set up.

Thanks

Simper Fi...

Power Commander, Exhaust & quality Dyno Tune. Performance always (in my mind) trumps 'looks.'

I guess it depends on whether or not your bike has enough power to suit you. If not, go for the stage 1 set-up first.

Koala is spot on, I would only add a bigger air cleaner as well while you are doing all the work.

When i started with mine, i did chrome wheels, front end, billet this, billet that, and now i wish i would have saved some of that money and just done the motor. The thing with the "looks" is you can do it little bits at a time. With performance, its usually a big chunk at once. Lets be honest, you know you are gonna be doing them all eventually anyway. Just decide whats more important to you, and let the games begin!
