Default Guys I need some help!
Right now I wanna do three things to my 2007 street glide.

1. Put a 21" wheel on it. (I am due for a new front tire right now as well)

2. Upgrade my sound system. (I am currently running hog tune speakers w/o an amp)

3. Arnott air ride.

Only have enough money to do one.

Well the tire is more important than the system and air ride. So there really isn't a choice here.

I agree with Kesean, saftey is #1, plus a 21" wheel will make it look good, just do one thing at a time.

I would also do the tire/wheel first then save up to do the others. But for sure the tire and wheel first hands down that is the most important. Just my 2 cents

I would do the 21 first, it will give you the most pop for the $$$

Sorry guys I meant to say I'm going to buy a new tire either way.. No matter what I'm going with a new tire just don't know if I want the rim with it or not. So if I go stereo, I'll buy a stock tire as well, same for the air ride.

If it were me I'd also do the wheel. Obviously, it is going to have the most dramatic, visual effect. Plus, I want a 21 too so I can live vicariously through you until I can get one

If you do the 21", you need to do the progressive 1" lowering kit up front. Made a huge difference on my 07 SG. Handles like a dream and no floating at higher speeds

Save your money and do your own air ride, not Arnott. You can build it for less than 250.00. Do a search.
