RE: Paint Or Performance??
I like the idea of going for a trip best, but if limited to the two options I'd pick a paint job first as long as it was a simple one like a solid color or two tone. Otherwise performance first.
Those crazy paintjobs with all sorts of details that end up costing thousands of dollars are nice. But with all that money on paint I'd just be so paranoid of shopping carts, car doors, rocks and debris from other vehicles, I just wouldn't enjoy it as much.

The best advice that was given (sorryI didn't note the poster) was tomake mods for comfort.After all, what good is a fast or good lookingTouring bike if you can't stand to ride it for long?
Looking good works at any speed.Stock/Stage 1 will go plenty fast enough for me.

If it were me, I would not choose one or the other based off ofhow themajority of responses from this forum would do it. This particular forum may be biased one way, a different forum or group ofbiker's majority could steer you another way. Go byhow you feel, not us.

Geargrinder, I was always going to make the decision myself,I guess I was just curious about what people here would do faced with those two options.
