I think it's a Harley thing, I too purchased a new Harley a little over a week ago, I too have spent serious change since signing the contract. I had the same problem with the CVO, it was supposed to have everything I would need (NOT), I have owned many motorcycles, I typically did not need anything except maybe a helmet and jacket up until I started buying Harley's.
Trust me, $1000,00 is not the end of it. I see your $1000.00 and raise you $700.00

I spent over $1000 just reworking the front end. I've slowed down, but that "mod bug" will bite me again.
Now, if I had the mechanical aptitude and tools, I could go crazy rebuilding a more powerful engine. It's probably good that I don't have the skillset. I just fix it as it breaks. Learn something new everytime.

Here’s my 05 started as a standard. Lol since the pic I spent $3500 on the front end alone and now I’m doing the Electra glide and keeping all receipts but won’t add it up till I’m done.
