Default I'm sick

The more I do on the bike, the more I want to buy for it. This has got to stop, but I really don't want it to either. I'd blame it on this site, but..... I know it's not. I fear the only way to curb this desire is to sell the bike, but, let's face it, that is NOT going to happen unless I have another to replace it and the madness starts all over. Thanks for listening (so to speak) I feel better. Still going to buy more though.

Dude, that bike looks pretty close to stock. I'd say you have a mild case at best...or do you have some updated pics for us?

That picture doesn't have the updates yet. There's still a few more things to install yet.
