My decisions are always based on adding comfort, performance or serviceability. I didn't see anything that fits in any of those categories so I'd spend the money on more important things like gas or beer.

Do the Apes next year. I'm DYING to put some 14" Wild 1s on my King too but just don't have the coin for it right now. I wanna do the apes, diamondback braided cable, chrome switch housings, chrome switches & maybe change the grips too.
