If you do it right by the time you finished it should work out about the debt of a small African country ....... carry on !

Looking good, but why didn't you get the heritage? you would get the detachable winsheild and bags for $200 more than the deluxe.

I'm in the same boat as you. Liked it out of the box, except pipes. Now I'm adding something new every other day. So far:

Stage 1
V&H fuel pak
V&H short shots
Chrome lower forks
Chrome switch housings
Chrome grips
Chrome switch house covers
Chrome toolbox
Chrome lower belt guard
trim rings for the lights
trim rings for blinkers
swing arm covers
down tube covers
softbrake (on the way)
Kury foot extensions
pass. floorboards
fender bib

I started in April and the counter is now on 10K.

I will put the pictures on when I'm finished. And the best part I'm doing this with my dad. Who is almost finished. He ordered all ready the 21 inch big spoke, but he will be staying with the beachbar. They will become a unique pair in The Netherlands. The first 2 Socals in Holland.

The mod fever slips up on you. From a fork b ag to a big bore kit, everytime. I went riding this summer, I had a new idea to improve or enhance the bike and ride. Part of the joy and fun of owning a bike, second to riding. Enjoy.

3k isn't too bad, LOL. Welcome to the addiction. I quit adding a long time ago, because once you get into serious engine mods, the tab adds up REALLY quick!

Yea...3k, but man does ur bike look great! I am in the process of doing mods and yes, it is expensive, but it is an investment and you will get your money back one day....or at least some of it. The way I look at it...if it feels good....do it. You only live once and do it right.
