If you only do one, do the Bags and Facia....!! It's the biggest stand out change you can do.

If you are considering a Street Glide fascia on you RK Classic, you will either need a "plain" (no fender tip holes) rear fender (Road Glide, Street Glide, Road King Custom), or mount the license plate so low to cover the holes in the stock fender that it looks odd, IMO.

If you mount a 21" wheel on the front, you will also need a new front fender.

I suggest you buy the parts you will need, but don't incur the labor cost for installation now, and, when you have the funds, do the work at one time, especially the paint.

Thanks.But i believe i could get the fender cover and strectchedbags from baddad.I think the cost would be almost the same as bags plus SG fascia.

I would go with bags. It would be a more noticable change compared to the wheel
