Did you buy a new bike?

GPS?  Though you could gett he same for less else where.  Have a sissy bar and bag setup? That can be expensive but a good bag can be worth it's weight in gold on a long trip. 

If you don't need anything for the bike there is always the FXRG Jackets, pants, etc.....I can verify they are both warm and waterproof.

*Throws old boards on floor*

Big bore kit,or even just cams would be sweet,but I think it's more money....not sure.

I was lookin at the GPS.I really liked the one that both of you had,and I really need one that I can put in my car for out of town soccer tournements.Can you do that with the one Harley sells?
Or should I just save up,and get one like yours?

Harley now sells the Zumo 550 as an HD branded item. You can put either in the car but they require a car mount for sound.

You will pay too much for it though at HD, then again, it's free.

I've seen specials all the time for the bigbore base kit (pistons, jugs, download, AC) for $900 or so. Godspeed does it all the time so the dealers try to do it as well.

You could get a bunch of chrome, but your bike looks great already.  Maybe use it for tires or service?  New wheels?

The Zumo has been great for both the Bike and Car. Hubby uses it for work in his van.  If you decide to go that way besure of what you want before you buy.  Personally I don't use the music feature nor do I fully use the bluetooth (you have to buy a bluetooth headset also btw) .  You can buy the Zumo through Harley but at $800 you can get it cheaper elsewhere.

All good ideas Adam.

I just got my bike serviced,and had a new back tire installed,so I'm good there.

If I can find them(Miceals)having a special on the big bore kit,I may jump at that.My bro put cams in his bike,and that made a huge difference,so this will be cool.

Even if it was a couple hundred more,because I've managed to hide some of my overtime from my wife.
