LOL, i've had 17 new bikes over my riding span and every single one of them I say "Ah, I'm going to leave it stock because A) it holds it's value better B) it runs smoother C) I don't want to mess with the warranty D) my days of riding that way are over and I just want to enjoy riding E) I like the quietness on the highway and I think it'll make me ride more/farther". I say that every time and people who know me just laugh at me in disbelief. And, sure enough, I end up modifying my bike so much that I don't like it anymore and trade it in for another new one. My new Harley is no different and already on that path

I had mine stock for 5-6 months but only because of money. Money is my "intervention".
