Default How much did you spend this winter in mods

Man - this has been a long winter, and has cost me a bundle!

New Wild-1 bars - 14"
Chrome switches
internal wiring
Steel cables
Relocate blinkers
New Harley mirrors
Passenger floorboards & brackets
Nostalgic floorboard inserts, brake & shifter rubber
Touch-up paint
New front mirror chrome thunder star wheel
solid mirror chrome back
new tires front and back
Chrome lower belt guard
Chrome pulley cover
All new chrome fork tins
Chrome lower fork sliders

I'd post the dollar amount, but my wife might read this post one day....

Will be all finished soon with new picts.
Can't wait to get it on the road!

Ouch, I don't know if I want to even start thinking about that.
The bike had a very good Christmas

Misprint above:

I said:
Tank Bib
Fender Bib with pouch

I should have said:
Tank Bib with pouch
Fender Bib

I never heard of a Fender Bib with a pouch. [sm=laughat.gif]

Hatt to even think about it. Way more than I planned to spend on a brand new bike
S&SCarb
Slip on mufflers
Detachable sissy bar w/ hardware, etc.
Engine guard
upper/lower belt guards
lots of bolt covers
pax pegs
hand grips
shifter pegs/brake pedal pad
chrome levers
etc., etc.

My wife doesn't ask anymore how much anymore.

Problem with living overseas is not being able to go to the dealer to pick up a couple of things. I figure that since I'm placing an order and paying shipping I might as well make it count.
