I would keep my eyes open on here for some elka shocks, +2+1 a-arms and for your swingarm make sure you get one with a roundhouse carrier... You may have to increase your budget by like $100-200 but it will be worth it
Depends on how much fun I haveabd how long I'm going to be at the destination if fuel is worth it... 1400 miles at $3.50 a gallon for 2 days, not really worth it. 1400 miles at $4.00 for 9+ days, I'm ok with that
