I had about $2k in mods added to my '08 Bob before I took delivery. I've put an additional $1200 into it since and have close to $1500 to go before I'm "finished" which will be in about 3 to 4 months... it says in fine print.

now thats fiscal responsibility!!!!!!!!

I like to see their face when I tell them it cost about the same as their Softail! Got the bike for 10k used, then about 8k in motor, trans, paint, wheels, front end, bars, and bling.

I have insured for 5k in parts so I think that's what it is. Labor is not covered so its probably over that.

15k for the bike and about $500 in mods, powder coating.... now, but ask me again next year. I'm saving my pennies for V/H black Big Radius, PC III (or equivalent) & air cleaner upgrade.
It just goes on and on. I love it.
