How would you spend it? Engine work /or wheels and apes?

I'd do exactly what I did. Fuelmoto powerpack, then the seat and bars, then sound system. Did the fork internals when I swapped to a chrome front end then the wheels and assorted bling. Call me a poser if you want but I rarely get passed by another twin or any bike for that matter other than an occasional sport bike. You can make these bikes quicker but its a touring bike, it will never be fast. I plan to do the motor work when it needs it, that may be a long time from now. I'll bump it up to a 107 and then I will have a fast, slow bike relative to the other slow bikes. 
All that said, think about it and decide what you want to do it doesn't matter what we think.

I guess my take on it is, I don't want a bike that looks like everyone elses. With that kind of cake at your disposal, you could do a cam and header to wake the bike up and still probably have enough left over for wheels or other bling.

Personally, I wouldn't worry about more engine performance if I felt ok with what the bike's already got. 
I'd get the wheels...

You can see my recommendation in my earlier post. I only did a stage I on my old Road King and was disappointed. This time I did stage II with S&S 510 cams. Makes a tremendous difference in power and torque with the cams. I don't do burnouts, race, or try to keep up with the 400 lb. metrics. But the extra power is well used when passing and in the hills with two up and heavy.
After the stage II and just normal cruising/touring, I get 43 mpg. The bike now runs, grunts, and sounds like a Harley should.
