Nope been there done that. Gave my 67 SG to my Brother and bought a 71 Jazz bass.. Then sold it and got my Dads hand me down 1965 P Bass and his 55 P Bass.. For an upgrade to newer active set up I bought a DR 6 6 string bass.. LOL..

$50 more a month and you have to start over making it yours... You have a beautiful bike now!

Agree $50 dollars and two years I'd keep what you have if it were me.

Thanks, and that sig pic has none of the new add ons of the last month. I'll post them up tomorrow..

That's the thing.. I'm torn.

I should just get the bagger brace and move on. I have the 160, not a 180 but it looks nice back there and rides even better. The 18" up front now with an E3 that has a wow factor all it's own..

If you have all the stock parts you could convert it back to stock and e-bay off the stuff you added on. I wouldn't imagine it would hurt the trade in value (might even get more without the aftermarket stuff on it)

$50 a month for two years only adds another $1,200 to your note but you'll have to start over with a stock bike again.

I really like the Copper/black color combo. But if I were getting a new bike it would be Sedona Orange without a question.

That 2-1 exhaust looks sharp on your bagger! Worth at least 8-hp and a nice torque curve!
