Default Is it only me?
So is it only me? I just finished pretty much everything I want to do to my Streetbob. Alot of hours and cash getting it to where it is today...However I went back home to Cali on a nice two week leave... Went to two bike shows and loved the west coast(outlaw) style bikes...Seriously enjoyed the styling and aggressive demeanor. But is it worth changing the bike all up again? Is the grass always greener or is it just me

Change it up if you like working on it. Keep your old parts so you can change it back when you get bored with the new look, or make a mutant.

Working on the bike is 1/2 the fun for me.

Looks good. If you get board looks like it could use some fancy calipers, full floating composite rotors and a full tank of petrol!
