RE: Why not do the mods yourself?
I can build a computer, trouble shoot a computer, and fix just about anything when it comes to computers.
But engines just confuse me. I never was good at it. My brother would tear apart big block and build them back up again and I was only good at drinking his beer and handing him tools.
I'd like to learn, but no one wants to teach me for free.

RE: Why not do the mods yourself?
Well, for my .02. I have been wrenching, welding, and building stuff since I was 12. Built tons of 60's/70's muscle cars (440 Duster, Boss 302 in a '61 Falcon, 69 Z-28 with 570 BBC Roller). Have all my tools, and a great garage with heated floor. Wife bought me a BOB 1500 lift for Christmas 2 yrs ago. I do the small routine stuff- but I am with Pilot...... I have gotten to the point that I can afford myself. HD has too many specialized tools, they are a pain about the warranty when my fingers have been there, and I would rather ride the bike for the time I would spend working on it! Funny how the priorities change as the odometer of years rolls up...

RE: Why not do the mods yourself?
Nothing to decide, I have done and will continue to do all I can. This thread was just out of curiosity. Unless I don't have the tools and/or time, I will do the work myself.
