Default Hate this forum!!!

You guys are killing me. Only 600 miles on my 11 RGU and already have over 6 grand in crap installed. Wheels, tires, steet glide fascia, second set of handlebars, multiple windshields, grips, painted inner fairing, blah blah blah. You guys are bad influences. This bike was gonna be the one that I was gonna keep almost stock. LOL. Now, I don't know if I can live without a stereo and difinately am considering the fuel moto 107" kit. I should have known I can't grow up after a couple of customs and highly modded Harleys. Anyway.......rant off. Keep the ideas coming.

Spend less on each bike and Buy More Bikes!

I feel your pain....2009 Ultra Classic north of $12k to date and should be done in another $5k.

Could have bought a Screamin Eagle by now but it is more fun to smoke them in the local "Bike Shows" plus I have no twins running around that's for sure.

Keep spending that money. But the sad thing is if or when you sell or trade your bike you ain't going to get much of that back. Back in the day you could. **** happens. Try to buy some of those parts from the MOCO so my stock will go up. Just my 2 cents
