Default Choices - 21" wheel, stretched bags or PY bars?

Ok team, what would you do? Front wheel, stretched bags or PY bars? I'm only planning on upgrading the front wheel only as I will eventually add the stretched bags at some point. Besides, I'm not a huge fan of the 18's on the rear - that's just me.

Opinions are like a-holes, and everyone has one.... so let's hear em!

And if I had to choose between the two I would do the wheel first. IMHO

Bars first. Comfort first, then looks. The stock wheel on your ride looks great for stock wheel too.

Good point Drew. If your stock bars are making riding uncomfortable for you definitely do them first.
