Default So I told myslf no but..

Ok, so I was going trade in the King but decided to keep it. Last bike I had was a 3year custom project and I told myself when I got the king I would do no upgrades, it came with bags and fairing with a radio so I wouldnt have too. Apperantly I have no self control lol..

Upgrades:

LRS 10"stealth shield (need to cut it down 2")
Harleygoodies board extentions
WhitBrake
Extended Wide Hardbags
HiD Headlight
Fork Lowers
Crash Bar and highway Pegs
Cobra FI2000 Auto Tune System
Sundowner Seat
Polk Speakers 6x9
Quick Detach sissybar
Quick Detach Tourpack
Tourpack mounting Kit
4 point Docking system
True-Track
Passenger Boards
Passenger Board Extentions

I am prob going to upgrade the radio and install a GPS in the fairing.. I think I need a help group LMAO!

What will you do nights, weekends, and next winter if you dont buy a new one and start upgrading your wrenches will get rusty. Seriously I think we have all made that promise to ourselves but then you see something and Bingo once you break the ice its over

My wife asks why I cant leave anything alone. I told her because its better after I am done with it, she will never understand. I cant wait to start tearing into my SG but need to finish my 2 year Mustang project first.

I had my bike for about two years before I did anything to it other than the 4-pt docking kit and saddle bag guards that i insisted on having before delivery at the dealer. After that first couple years I gradually made some changes including a Stage I to cool it down and Power Duals to get rid of the CAT. Just now adding a Jagg Oil Cooler before my trip to Illinois in mid-June. Otherwise she's pretty stock with a little bling added now n then along the way.

You've got to personalize it a little to give it personality to fit you and your needs!

Good luck with that! I said the same when I traded my '10 FXDC for an Ultra Limited. Here it is 4 weeks later and I've dumped 3 grand into it!

There is no way to stop it! If you ride/buy an H-D, you're going to put money into it. End of story. Any questions?
