I hear that the only medication is a IV drip of cash.

I bought an '18 Deluxe last month. I would have loved nothing more than to have spent the winter modding it, but due to the recent grumbling X about Harley not honoring warranties for (fill in the blank) mods, I'm hesitant to touch the thing.

Cosmetically, the only issue I have with my bike is the stick mufflers. Al I really want to do is put decent slip ons on there. But I may just have to bite the bullet and do an entrtirely OEM stage 1 and have the dealer do it.

It never stops. I've only spent about $1,500 on my '16 Roadglide so far, but a big one is coming up. I turned 70 last year and injuries, old and new, are catching up to me. Getting hard to hold the bike up sometimes. So, rather than quit riding, I'm adding a sidecar. Along with a little extra power to help pull it and better shocks to make it easier on my back.

Probably end up spending at least $13,000.
