Default New risers, bars, grips......
and relocated the turn signals. Now what do I spend the money on for not having to pay someone else ~$500 for labor by doing it myself? (That was rhetorical by the way....I don't need help spending money on my bike).

It was a lot easier than I thought it was going to be, and didn't take the 10-12 hours I was quoted by the dealer.

It's a good thing you clarified that, people around love to find ways to spend your money!

I like to do all my own work, as well. I guess I'm picky and want to be sure everything is done properly, and with care.
