Wheels are the next logical step, grasshopper.......



I just sunk 2500.000 into the motor. This came on the heels of spending almost 2K on handlebars, powdercoating, grips, etc. just weeks before.

I had to promise my wife, no more this year.

Nice looking bikes, and where did you get that flag mount? You can PM me if you don't want to turn this into a flag mount thread.

2 yrs, 18,000+ miles, don't think that I'm doing that bad

That's funny and glad to read I'm not alone. OL has not found the receipt stash or she would be at the mall.

All those expensive mods and you have skipped the most important one.
Spend $50 and put an internal antenna on and get rid of that black eyesore whip on the *** end. Priority #1.

Ride the crap out of it. If you have alot of $$ to burn, I will loan you my bike to practice for the ultra you are going to mod in your future, once you are happy, I get the bike back with the mod you done, lol. Oh yeah, I get your SG in trade while you are tinkering with mine. Nice bike man, stay safe.

As hard as it is to believe, some people don't want an Ultra.

What I just posted did not have your name in it anywhere, it was directed to the OP, whats up with that comment? If you dont want an ultra, dont get one. Contrary to your belief, not everyone wants a SG either. Dont worry, you will end up on a road sofa one day, can't fight it, resistance is futile
