Am I fighting this battle alone?
In the first 3 weeks of ownership Im running some gas through the FLHT. Over 2000 miles. The only real negative thing I have to say is that the bars are causing me some lower back pain from leaning forward.
So I want some +2 sweepers. On sale $68, easy enough.
So:
+2 sweepers.............$68
Clutch cable.............$22
Wire extensions.........$49
Throttle extension......$30
Cruise......................$187
Grips........................$55
Chrome switches........$23
Chrome bolts.............$17
My $68 +2 sweepers are really $430 + shipping by the time I do all the things that I want to do as long as I have everything apart.
As long as the handlebar project is going to cost over $430 why dont I just get the 1.25 Burly bars which is what I really want anyway. Whats another $130 when Im already spending over $430?

I hear ya on the money factor thing. Luckily for me I am happy with my stock bars, etc.
You are spending money to upgrade, best get what you want for not that much more cost.

Your first experience with this? 
Calm down, there are many more upgrades coming! Give us a shout with each, and pics are always welcomed...
When you end up in the poor house, come to room #143. That's where I reside now!
