Thanks, and the seat is comfortable for the first 100-150 miles. After that, it gives you an idea of what Liberace's *** would feel like after being housed in a prison's general population.

Two different questions ... the latter assumes there is a return. I think most have disabused themselves of the notion that they'll get any 'return' on the aftermarket upgrades and mods made to their respective bikes?

I don't have the faintest idea and couldn't care less what I've spent on it. It was worth it to me or I wouldn't have done it. Being 71 yrs old and figuring it's my last ride probably has something to do with my attitude.

Well I added mine up the other day to see if my plan of buying the base SG was worth while.

As it sits right now I have 15,200 (12k for bike/3200 mods) in mine. Zero in labor which has helped a bunch.

Not much "invested" in mine.... yet. I don't really consider the passenger set-up parts (pillion, pegs, backrest) or the windshield as mods or customization; they're for creature comfort. Today, though, I used some Christmas gift cards at the dealer. Put the Flame Collection AC trim, derby and timer covers on a little while ago.
