Default 2011 Road Glide Mods-Opinions please!

I scooped up a 2011 sedona orange RG at the end of last summer and so far have chromed the front end, added some pipes, and installed the heavy breather. The season is only a few months away and Im torn between two mods. I got about 2 grand to spend so im lookin for some help...im thinkin about painted inner fairing, or 21-23 inch front wheel and upgraded sound system(paul yaffe system)...which one guys?? a buddy of mine said if you change the front wheel your gonna have to change out the back wheel or get some extended bags. Opinions?

You can do a J&M stereo for $559.95 speakers and amp! Then you still have $1400 to play with. Just a thought.

He's right about the extended bags with a 21-23 in front. It would look better with the extended bags. Not sure why he said rear wheel.... you can't see it anyway if you go with extended bags..... waste of money.

I'd go with the painted inner, and sound system myself. Or upgrade your suspension, and get a better ride out of her.

he is absolutely right you can't see the rear wheel unless you or somebody else looks at the back sides of the bike and laughs at you for having unmatching wheels. your bike your money your decision...I have faith that your old enough to decide on your own.
