Talking Is there a 12 step program for this?

I have to stop spending money on this thing!
2009 SG
Stage 1 with:
SE air cleaner
Monster Ovals with tips flipped up
SERT
75.47 HP
83.83 TQ
I have also changed the seat to a C&C sport tour seat customized 2" back. Not really the "right" seat for the bike but it is much more comfortable than stock. Added a back rest but havent had C&C match the cover on it yet.
Added highway pegs.
I also bought the heel shifter eliminator spacer and the push button gas tank opener but havent installed them yet.
Thanks to all on this forum for your help!

Unfortunately, No...It's your money well spent whole alot better than alcohol and drugs. I find that riding my Harleys over the years more enjoyable than messing my head up, barfing my cookies and encountering hang-over the next day.

Currently living off Harley Davidson's Motto: Live to Ride...Ride to Live.

Ride safe,

Sure there is. Make a list of everything you want to do to the bike.
Split the list up into 12 steps.

My dealer has a 12 step program.
It's 12 steps from the front door to the parts counter.

Seat looks good to me. I'd loose the hand strap though.
Is that blue stiching?
Let us know how the seat works out.

(I spent 3 grand while the bike was on order before I even got it)
....and all I wanted were the bag spears.
