It's never ending....

Just be glad that you are only dealing with one bike...

Including the Harley's that I own now, and the ones I've had in the past, I know that I've spent at least $150,000 over the years.

Probably much more than that if I wanted to make myself sick and come up with a more detail dollar figure...

I told myself when I bought mine that all I was going to change was the exhaust, seat and hand grips. Wrong. Now I have been seriously thinking about the AME Chopper Kit to change out the front end and add to the wheel base. If I get the chopper kit I will want replace the bars with mini apes. I also was thinking to chrome out the hand controls, the rear end, sprocket guards and swing arm. Never ends.

When I first purchased mine I knew I wanted to upgrade the exhaust and from there it did not stop. Hell, it still has not stopped.

Fine. Spend your money on parts for my scoot then. I'll take some 14" apes from Hill Country Custom Cycles and the skull and cross bones throw over saddle bags from Leatherup.

I tell you what I'll do, You drop off your scoot at my place or I can come and get it. Just think of all the money that it will save you by this one act of kindness. LOL. Get used to it, it's all part of the Harley experience.
