Default Allocated part of my tax return for parts need help with ideas

Its that ime of year for me to buy parts for my toy.
I have a 2006 FXSTBI, heartland ez200 on the rear. powder coated stock spoke rims.


Ive decided to alolocate about $1200 for parts from my tax return. Dont know what to get.

Im looking at the follwing:

-mammoth 52 OR fat daddy 50 rims
-95" upgrade kit with 204 cams not 203s
-flush mount gauge and cap - gloss black
-zippers performance gauge
-whiskey bars/4" straight riser, with new controls-internal wiring
-new forward controls
-air ride system--currently have lowering link installed

any ideas on what to get or new ideas I didnt list.

thanks guys

When you have a higher amount of money, it's better to go with something on the higher cost end. It's easier to collect the low cost pieces along the way.
With that said, I'd go wheels, motor, or air ride.

probem is that 1200 will not really cover what he is looking to do to the motor... i would drop it on wheels and air ride as stated above, maybe drop a lower gear in the pulley for a bit more pep out of the bike.
i put a power pulley in my 30T and it was a blst... after i built my motor is was insane!

First off I reccomend you allocate ALL of your tax refund to parts because Harleys are expensive

I would do the shotgun shocks, OR for about 400 more get upgraded to the 103 (dealers had a special for $1600)
