I wish I would have just done the work necessary to get my bike back on the road when my drive belt snapped. Nope. I decided to try and tackle every single thing I wanted to change about the bike at one time. Now, 6 months later, my bike is in a hundred pieces with shiny new parts everywhere, including the new belt that has yet to be installed. I'm not far from finishing, but had I just fixed what was wrong and worried about the other **** later, I could have been riding this whole time.

I went through 3 sets before finding a set that looked ok and were comfortable each time having to pay labour and the for the bars.
1st set beach bars - awful and uncomfortable.
2nd set Chubby apes , looked rubbish and were a nightmare at high speeds.
3rd and final set Roland sands , expensive but i love them.

Its even worse when you internally wire them and a few weeks/months later realise they ain,t the ones for you...... three times and counting

yeah...I know this is about your bike but everytime someone says the word regret....that pops in my head.
