Nothing wrong with that Dude. Ride it for a couple of years and you will be amazed at the trade in value. When most folks by used, they prefer bone stock.

Everybody knows you strip the bike before you trade it in, no ones the wiser...

You'll change one thing then another then you'll sit in the garage & stair at it trying to figure out what to change next & you'll be like all the rest of us waiting for the next pay check.

My bike is pretty damn stock looking, I have not added 1 piece of chrome since I bought it. A HD Brawler solo saddle, a 2 into 1 exhaust and a 18" front wheel off a 2010 FLHX are the only changes I have made to it, that you would know of.

I agree 100%, but I had some take off parts left from the 2011, so there went that idea. But I am done with my mods.
