By this time next year if I'm able to finish what I have planned, I'll be somewhere between 25-50% of the cost of my Fat Lo. Does that make me crazy? I'm pushing 25% already and it's not even a year old!

 

I bought my bike with the mods already done. The dealership told me the previous owner had put $10K in upgrades. I've identified many of the mods and come up with about $8K so I believe what he told me. I paid $14K for the bike. It's a 2008 Rocker C and had 6,000 miles on it. I feel like I got a screaming deal.

So far I've added a Danny Gray seat and have plans for more mods.

 

9500CAD$ in 2008 with 27K kilometers, spent 7000CAD$ (Paint, shotgun, front triple tree, powder coated rims, floorboards, bars (multiple times)) . and now sits with 94K Kilometers, next summer could be the 100K summer

 

I picked up my 08 Heritage Classic for 8K a little over a year ago. It only had 19K on the clock. I got a smokin deal on it. Since then, I have put about $2450 into the bike which includes: Seat, pipes, stage one kit, SuperTuner, Dyno Tuned, white walls/tubes, replacement windshield and a few other miscellaneous items. I have no plans to invest further other than maintenance items. I do my own work (except the dyno tune) so labor is not counted.


Bike runs and rides great! I like the bike just the way it is!

 

CAD$7000 for my 100th Anniversary (03) Softail Standard with 45,000 km on it. Immediately in for a chrome kit and a tensioner while they were in there, plus sissy bars, chrome forks, lots of 100th Anniversary caps and parts (hard to find in 2013 when I bought the bike), and shotgun shocks. All of that was probably another $8000 all in.

As much as I loved 'er when I first laid eyes, she's a real looker now... and mine!

 

Paid around $17K out the door on my 2010. Add ons are around $7K. Bought most of it on Ebay saving me a ton of money. Bags, exhaust, and engine mods were the biggest expense. I love it and only want a few small things now. Plan on keeping it till I can't ride anymore.

Before and after.............

 

Paid $13,600 for my 2008 NT in June 2013 and it had a few upgrades at the time - Total for the add-ons $5,500 so my NT has cost me around $19,100 incl. the purchase price.

Nice bike brother....Are those Boss Bags? And if they are what size are they?


Thanks - jc

 

this thread gave me the crazy idea to break out the calculator and see how much my parts add up to (retail cost)... by the time I'm down with this winters mods, i'll have over $10,000 parts installed on my 2012 fatboy lo that i bought last april (8 months ago), the sick part is there's still more i want more

 

LOL - Winner Winner Chicken Dinner! I think that's the largest $$ over purchase price?
