Harley sells you most of a motorcycle. It's up to you to finish it.

I just went ahead and bought a Road Glide. Sort of like taking a redhead to the prom (Nobody wanted her, but everybody stared). *Note...I never went to a prom.


But heard stories.

It ends IF and WHEN it's to YOUR liking!

I bought my first Harley ('75 Sportster) in November of '74 and I bought my newest (probably not my last) Harley ('13 CVO Ultra) in late '12.

I have two more things I want to buy and then I'll be done for a while.
From now on, it's wax-on/wax-off and RIDE!

I'm almost to the point where I'll just let the dealer do my fluid changes.

Stops? I'm just beginning...... Never owned a bike that had such a huge aftermarket..... I'll watch 20 items on eBay, or save to a wish list from a website, then just when I've made my mind up and add to cart, something else comes along Ive never seen before.

I'm from the "less is more" school of customizing, and I've been through some pricey trial and error in my past...... With some "lower" model Harley's, but never have I been able to visualize sooooo much on a bike. I swear, there's more touring bikes in a google search than any other model Harley when I try to find a photo of an item installed on a bike.

For most, the bike is just the down payment!

And never say I'm done buying parts, customizing, etc. because you will end up buying more.
