I can't stop!!!!
Wanting to upgrade that is. Every time I think I have her where I want her, I see or think about something else. I got my mind made up on my wheels and stereo system. Thought I was good to go, but nooooooooo I had to think about suspension. Now I'm looking into progressive 412's to replace the stock air shocks. I'm not sure I want to be cured of this addiction, but it sure gets expensive at times.

LOL. The bike purchase is a blank canvas and the start of the disease. I have seen plenty of members here that say "I'm done" LMAO, yeah right. At least you admit it up front and you are not lying to yourself.

I throw down about 10k per year, and that's with being deployed 5-6 months per year, currently on a 6 month'r so I've got nothing but time to think about what to do with her next. She get's ridden plenty, believe me.

I try to put as little as possible into my Touring bikes because I trade them every other year. My Heritage on the other hand I am so upside down with upgrade costs, I could never sell it.

You could "upgrade" just about every single piece and part on your bike if you wanted to, not to mention a ton of add-ons! If you're on a budget like most of us, you gotta draw the line somewhere and decide what you can live with and what you can't.
Keep in mind that the more money you sink into your bike the longer you're going to want to keep it, because you won't get that money back if you ever get rid of it!

I totally understand. Over 25+ years I was slowly turning my '78 FXE into an early '70's FLH. Still had h-bars and internal controls to install by the time I sold it to my cousin. I still miss that bike!
