Working on the bike is just as much fun as riding it in my opinion. It is like Christmas year round waiting for new parts throughout the year. I saw have at it, I did new fenders during the riding season this. It was worth the wait, although most of the wait I was in Hawaii lol

Throughout my life I've found that my needs and wants have changed, big time..

Also somethings I liked 40-50 yrs ago now means nothing.
I remember my First Harley, 70 XLCH, I got in 71 and the second yr I had her I tore Her down to the frame, repainted and chromed her all out. Today all I have left is pictures of her but I don't miss her one bit.

Thinking If Ur ready for a change and still love Ur bike, then maybe its time for a new look, if U do that, just take a bunch of really good pics for the future to reflect back on.
