If You Were To Do It All Over Again?
I know we all have a few regrets while modding.
Me....2 regrets. One, I should of spent big and went all out on the engine. Now knowing I am married to the bike and with me for a very long time, I would of went with a 120ish engine. Second, don't make due with defects and trust Indys. I went through he'll with the dealership trying to fit and paint my imperfect weld RWD rear fender. Now this summer I am sending it back into a custom shop to reweld and paint.
Besides that its been great. A whole lot of learning in the past 3 years....thank to these forums. I did my best to do my homework before hand on concept and products. Overall I am happy since I came out of the gate as a noob.
So what regrets if any do you folks have when it comes to mods?

Nice pipes. Im surprised that someone is putting mini stack's on for an exhaust. I know it would be inconvenient to breath the exhaust while riding, lol, but what a freaking cool look that would be. Makes me want to get a second bike and start making new ideas/mods. Getting back to your bagger, it would like nice if you got a huge *** rim and wheel combination for the front with air suspension that lowered automatically when you shut down and set on the ground without needing a kick stand. Other than my opinion, nice scoot you have there.

If I had it all to do again, I think I would have purchased a used Road Glide instead of a new Deluxe but all in all I am happy. Just spent way too much money.

If I had to do it all over again I would have started with the Heritage I just got and not screwed around with so many other bikes first. So far I really feel I have done it right this time.
