Default Does it ever end?

Every time I think I am getting close to what I want, the little devil on my shoulder talks me into doing another mod. First I put forwards on, then came the Big Sucker II and the Cobra tuner. Then I had to try a windshield (started with the HD compact, but just switched to Clearview). Added some more chrome, floorboards, and new headlight. Next, came a new speedo. Today, I added detachable sideplates so I could clean up the back end.

Now I'm trying to decide if I want saddlebags (Leatherpros) or apes next.

Next season I'm planning on cams.

Help me please, I think I'm an addict. Is there an organization like AA for people like me (maybe MA)? Oh well, I'd just see someones bike on the way to the meetings and want to change something else.

Here are some before and after photos.

It is just like life itself... It will end when you are six feet under!
Or when you run out of money. Which ever comes first....

Love the bike man! What floorboards are those? That looks like something I might do soon if they just bolt right on in place of the pegs without other changes.

It never ends! I'm getting ready to do cams this month..

Really nice bike, and no it never ends. Even if you get your current bike set up exactly as you want it, at most you will experience a temporary pause in the Mods which will only last until you get your next bike. It is an endless "cycle".

Nope.

Just wait till you've had the bike a few years and it looks nothing like the bike you started out with.
