Default This has to be the worst part of owning a Harley

What accessory to get next.
I got a gift card from the local harley dealer for my birthday yesterday from my dad and another gift card from my wife.
My dilema is All the trim rings for the lights, headlamp, passing lights and front and rear signal lights

Or Highway pegs and the billet mounting kit

I hate this- I wish I had thousands to get it all at once- but then what fun would that be?

If they don't expire, what's the rush. Wait till they have a sale.

I got pegs before I got the light trim. I figured riding comfort was more important than bling.

I'm not sure I understand the dilemma. Something that makes a huge difference in comfort and offers more riding positions, or some shinny stuff. If you have to think about it then riding is not your priority.

Do you have a driver backrest? Sometimes I think with the highway pegs it would be more comfortable with a backrest to lean on

The thread was intended to have a comical tone to it- I guess it didn't come across well-lol You're right though, I spent over $20K to let it just sit in the garage-lol

The best part is doing it a bit at a time . keeps things fresh.
If you did it all at once it would be time to trade it off and start over.

I don't use pegs, prefer the foot boards all day. I did go with a headlight trim ring and directional trim rings front and back. Look great. The passing lamps without trims are a nice off set to the others. Seems they'd be best if all with trims, but try it - you'll see what I mean.
