Default What would YOU do???

If you had my bike (2011 103" FLHX, vivid black, all stock except for some Rinehart 3.5" slipons) and $3,000 bucks to spend?

Sure, I've got my own ideas and my own list of stuff to grab.. Just curious what other ideas are out there.. stuff maybe I didn't think to consider..

2 into 1 exhaust, andrews 54h or woods 555 cams, fuel management or dyno time, 107 kit, head work, install it all yourself and that should be close to 3K nuggets.

Don't forget to upgrade the A/C.

If I had your bike and your $3,000 I would spend it on a road trip involving hookers, drugs, and alcohol. If there was any left I would waste it....

Then, if the bike was still running and in one piece I would return it to you, if not I would text you as to where you could pick it up.....

I'd go the way of comfort first (bars, seat, backrest, highway pegs, windshield, etc) What is left from there I would put toward an A/C, tuner and exhaust that ditches the cat.

Sounded like a good plan until the last sentence.

Opening up the intake/exhaust and ditching the cat is definitely my first priority.

PC V
stage 1 or heavy breather intake
fuel moto head pipe or gutting the stock one
These 3 are definitely on the list

Probably also do
passenger boards and highway pegs
Seat upgrade of some sort (thinking about the Lepera Villain)
Floorboard extensions
speaker upgrade (boom audio or something else)
and either try and find a tourpak or a luggage rack for my big T-bag

Getting out of Oklahoma would be nice too, since so far this year we've had 21" of snow this winter and this summer we've had 15 consecutive days of 100+ temps with no relief in sight.

The hookers, drugs, and alcohol fueled rampage sounds nice too, but I doubt that 3 grand would do much for the cost of the divorce and child support I'd be looking at! LOL

I'd bank the money and ride the rubber off your bike...... but, what do I know.... I'm just an old man.
