I must ask. Are you ever done modifying or changing your scoot???

So far on my mods:
SE slip-ons
SE stage 1 A/C
HD cushion grips
Windshield
Lindby highway bar

Future plans:
Highway pegs
Wheels (mag three or five spoke unless I can find some road winders cheap)
Sundowner or leparra seat
LED lighting all around
Shotgun air ride


I got the bug. Let's hope the wallet keeps up

You're done when you sell it and buy another one to start modding.

Your results may vary...

In my case I bought a Deuce, rode it about a year, added and changed a few things. Rode it another 5 years adding nothing but fresh lubes and gas and some wax. This year I tweaked some more and feel "done" for a year or two. Of course I am old enough that the terms days, weeks, months are too detail specific and prefer to refer to the current year only occasionally.

I like to plan what to change with my goal in mind. I do not want to move in the wrong direction. Much like putting a really wild camshaft in a heavy pickup, slamming it, and then wondering why it is a pig and won 't carry two bags of mulch.

I like to spend money once.

If I told you what I had in my sled you wouldn't believe me, probably no one would AND it's back in the shop to top off this list of this winters mods, maybe another 2K at least. My bike is not just appearance modded out either, I am more into performance mods over appearance mods too. I have seen guys put 1000's upon 1000's in their bikes and never touch the engine or tranny, to each their own. So, the answer is NO, you are never done.
