Talking I may need an intervention. My build thread

I got new chrome switches and switch housings from my wife for Christmas, and thought " might as well do the grips while I'm at it". But I hate the riser/ bars on the custom so..... Might as well do the bars. While I've got the tank off, might as well do a tank lift and coil relo. I can't stop now........

Yeah... You're F****d!
I think you came to the wrong place for an intervention though.
Have fun.
