You can't spend any money when you are out riding and enjoying your machine.

I haven't bought anything for the bike since September. I got a set of pegs for Christmas and was itching to swap out my front wheel for a 21", but I think I have backed off that for now. I kinda woke up one day and really didn't feel like putting anymore money into this thing. It's in good shape as is for now...

Think I am taking more of a breather than anything. I know we are never really done. I do have some changes in mind. Just have not acted on them as they will be pretty pricey. Love the extended rear fender and custom paint. But that will be no time soon .Just cant get my head around a repaint . When I have perfectly good paint now. That gets tons of compliments.

The next step for me is gonna be a bar change ( apes getting to my shoulder due to old injury). With all he hidden cables,internal throttle etc.Just not sure which way I want to go yet.

I am pretty happy with the way the bike sits now.But do realize there is always more to do. And yes brothas I have been through those 15 -18 month spending sprees. I do have some with drawls which is probably why I posted this thread. Feel like I been slacking a little.

I have to admit it was a nice little break . Time to enjoy the bike instead of it being pulled apart all the time. Think its time to get back to work though
