Are you ever finally at peace with your bike? Or do the mods keep going on forever to infinity?

I think it's best to have some sort of plan on how you want your bike to look instead of just half assing it. Once you have a base plan, it then comes down to the details.

Some bikes are very well put together because the owner had a well thought out plan and knew when to quit. With some, you can tell that parts were just added as an afterthought.

I like to think mine is done, however, you just never know...

Well I have said I was done with winter mods about 4 times already and now have a chrome front end and new headlight on the way lol

It wont end for me but it will slow down. I have a list of things to come and that list is getting shorter. Wheels, Braided Cables, SE 180, shocks, motor work, powder coat some flat black stuff to gloss and a few little details is about all I have left. I think

Ok maybe the list isnt that short

Wise words at top about the plan and equally as important the added you never know about being done
