You should use that list as your signature so you don't have to start vanity threads.

Its more of an addiction lol and I'm addicted

This is why were all here on this forum sharing our addiction with follow addicts because every time we do a mod we love to share it with other folks that understand what were doing and why we do it

Is it Excess or Personality? You'll only know the real answer when you go to sell the bike. Here's my take ...

If you take off the goodies and chrome that you can and sell them off via the parts thread, advertise/sell the bike for a good but fair price, take the financial hit

and move on, then it was Excess.

If you advertise a tricked-out 45,000 mile bike on eBay for $55,000 because you have $65,000 into it ... that is 100% Personality.

Either way, the Forum members win because we get a garage load of quality used parts or a good laugh.

H-D ownership has many forms. I used get into mods, but my interests changed. I now find myself taking more trips and wrenching less. With the exception of a GPS, backrest and taller windshield, my bike is completely stock, including the factory pipes.
