Harley rear tail light auxillarys. Harness part from Harley is less than $50.00. Easy to install and gives added brake lights from the signal lights. Worthwhile part.

Grips are always an easy one. Mirrors can usually be done under $50. For the artistic types, you'll be surprised what can be done in couple of hours with an $8 set of Testors enamels.

You can't do crap for under $50.00. Save up and do something worthwhile. I will agree with the stop light harness...that's probably the best one.

There has been some interesting things done with sign vinyl. Blackening the forks, stripping the air box etc. Not sure how well it will hold up, but does look good initially.

Thats why HD stands for HUNDRED DOLLARS. that's what it cost every time you walk into dealership. But on the Bright side you get free hot dogs on Saturdays. OK back to the original questions. Smoked out turn signal lens, chrome dogs ***, all kinds of little things can be done to dress up the look of you bike.

If you'd quit paying those naked girls to wash your V-Rod it might be cheaper RJ



Metzeler 200 for 2006 and previous, but only when you wear out the stocker and need to replace it anyway. (thus less than $50 mod)
