Ok, try this then. Go ahead and buy some real expensive stuff for the bike. When she goes off on ya, tell her, ok, ok, I'll take it all back to the dealer. When ya take it back to the store, exchange it for what ya really want, then tell her they would only do a store credit on the return.

Owning a Harley is the cheap part, the infamous parts list is what's expensive!

The more I read this forum the longer my list gets. I have a feeling the wife is going to "help me" slow down a bit pretty soon unless I can convince her its stuff she needs. Your list looks more expensive though.
this is where the term "safety chrome" comes from.

My kids keep teasing me wanting to know when I'm going to buy the fringe for the "geezer glide" as they call it.
I tell them .....wait your day will come. Jakester your right the Big Dog makes for a great back up bike It's nice to be able to actually build a bike that I can keep.......either it was a demo bike or a customers bike. If it was a demo, I never wanted to put any miles on it because it would be someones bike one day.
