you are not crazy .... I doubt anyone is ever completely happy with the end product of their bike .... whether it be looks or performance. Change it up, ride it and enjoy .... then start all over again.

I went through the same thing, but mine was due to needing the bike to be more comfortable. I miss the way my bike looked before but I'm much happier riding it now.

It's your bike, build it like you want.

Bikes are never done.

Wife's GF are always pissed about something.

Build it your way and ride it like ya stole it.

do what you want, if you don't like it, change it.

I might be the only one that is done with mine. I turn wrenches for a living so the last thing I want to do is wrench on my free time, I couldn't be happier with the outcome, and am completely done. The only thing I've added in 2 1/2 years is a jockey shift.

First, your bike is TUFF!

Secondly, you will always look at another sexy woman!

MX your bike is hella fresh man! I enjoy the current style and look of my bike, but holy **** is it not practical. I ride long distances almost every weekend, and after a few hours **** gets uncomfortable. Just trying to soul search to find out if I can get over this form over function nostalgia i have.

a more comfortable seat with a backrest and some highway pegs would make a world of difference. I can ride 500+ miles/day on my touring setup and be back to the minimalist look in less than 5 minutes.

Just buy another one, and make it into the touring bike you've always wanted... Or do like MXerwithaBob. I convert my Dyna from solo to two-up to bagger on a regular basis (even if it doesn't look as sweet as MXer's).
