Default Need input on mods

So I decided to keep my 2013 Ultra Limited after looking at the 2014. It was nice but not worth the trade difference for me. I already added a SE255 cam, Vance and Hines power duals and monster rounds plus SE race tuner and dyno. I just ordered the George Anderson tour pack relocator to give my wife and I more room, yes I am fat not her LOL. I am seriously considering adding the HD premium ride Rear shocks and premium ride dual cartridge fork kit plus chrome front end. I aslo am considering the daymaker LED lighting for the headlight and running lights. I am looking for input on these options and also am not sure what daymaker set up to opt for as there are now 2 styles available. HELLLLPPPPPP!! I figure I was gonna spend $7600 to get a 2014 that buys me alot of goodies

Based upon the feedback I'm reading from those buying the 2014's, I think you made the right choice, bro.

If I were replacing shocks with that budget, I would do JRI rears and replace the HD junk oil in front. IMO the fronts aren't all that bad if you have decent rears. I don't have as many issues with the fronts now that JRI in the rear.

After reading through tons of suspension upgrades, I don't think I would go with the HD premium shocks. I would opt for the JRI's, Ohlins or the Ricor ones. I have talked to Howard at Motorcycle Metal as well as Hal at Ricor. I'm waiting to hear back from Hal on what our Forum price is for the Ricor's. Everyone here say's Hal give pretty good discounts to Forum members and right now on there website they have them discounted for $629. Just my two cents worth, hopefully more will chime in on what they like...
Good luck with the mods you do to your 2013 & I agree that I think you made the right choice by keeping what you have....
