Default What would you buy with $800 to spend?

I have $800 to spend that I have been saving for my winter project. Just have a few things I would like and need a little advise to help decide what would be the items to choose for now.
On my list is
1) Of course some Ohins 3-3 or maybe 3-2 shocks.
2) The harley Led headlight
3) Woods TW-555 or TW-777 with the Fuel moto Directional lifters and adjustable pushrods, install kit.
4) Garmin zuma 665 with XM and bluetooth

I don't need any of these and would all be nice to haves, my ride is pretty good and has nice power. I don't ride very often at night but like to be seen. And I have a great atlas and a Ipod touch so I can do without any of these but my medical condition of modification addiction forces me to choose one.
Any help for a sick man?

I would watch for a low mileage used cam and then see if I couldn't also get the 107 kit from FM. With the new 777 cam FM is offering, I am sure you will see some great prices on 555s or the 6.

Since you don't "need" any of the items on your list I'd suggest the ones that make riding more enjoyable first. On your list that would be the Zumo, it adds ease of finding locations, & services, & just in general makes for a little less effort on a ride.

For a more responsive ride I opted for an Andrews 37H cam. It adds performance in a useable range without excessive strain on the valve train in a nearly stock 96".

Outside your list I'd suggest looking into a hydraulic clutch. A little easier pull, a *much* smoother engagement, & no more clutch adjusting. By far one of my favorite improvements.

Probably head pipes to get rid of the CAT. And if the stock mufflers didn't sound the way I wanted, then new slip-ons.

Not much gonna be left after that. I need about 5k to really do some damage.
