Worked a trade
I never was a dresser kind of rider. I rode mine for 14 months always enjoying the ride and always knowing I wanted something leaner.
I swapped bikes for a '90 Softail with 17K original miles on it and a buttload of extra parts like seats, forks, sissybars, etc. My buddy took this pic at the time once the dresser was loaded up:
Then, the bottom drops out of the sky for the 80 mile ride home. Off I go with no front fender....
Anyway, I'm in love with this bike and have already made several changes to it but I'm probably done for a while.
The ride is righteous. 8) I'm back.

You always want what you don't have. Me I'm going for a Street Glide. I want off my Train bad. The ride sucks, can't carry **** with you and still look good lol. If I was you I would have kept your bike and just stripped it down some but as long as your happy.

Nothin' wrong with a backback if you need to carry some stuff. If it bothers some people, sew on a skull patch or a Harley emblem or some other BS. It ain't no worse BS than trying to turn a motorcycle into a delivery truck.

Warp dude: You hit the nail on the head, Touring bikes are a dime a dozen and they are exactly the same as driving a car. As a matter of fact I’m trading mine in tomorrow on a Cadillac. Sportsers, Dynas, Softails, etc. are not a dime a dozen, they are so rare I hardly see them on the road… 
Your right again, when I get out on the road and hit different climates I should put my extra gear (extra helmet, jacket, over pants, sweat shirt, air pump, tools, etc. etc.) in a back pack, it will all fit right on in there… On my lunch break when I go to the gym I’ll also strap my gym bag to my back. Should I bother to mention the extra gear for a serious road trip? I guess not, you probably wouldn’t understand anyway.

Heh heh, back when men were men, we didn't need all that stuff. 
Yup, I put my gym clothes in a backpack.
