Gezz man, you're getting everyone excited!

The problem that I had was not thinking everything through before modifying. I let other people convince me on what mods to be done. When you get the bike, ride it and learn it for awhile. There's thousands of websites and custom shops out there. Here in Charlotte, there are so many places that can customize it for you. Every year, I go to the EasyRiders show. It's all cusom v-twins. Local shops comes down and show-off their abilities.

When it comes down to customizing your bike, take it slow and think it through. Seroiusly, I started with Yamaha of Gastonia. I gave them $3,500 to do a lot of work (a ton of money goes to labor--this site will show you how to do a lot of stuff yourself). After a few months, I wasn't impressed with the mods so, I started all over. Honestly, I paid for the bike twice with all of the mods that I started and then re-did.

But enjoy it and don't hesitate to ask tons of questions. Lots of guys here with real knowledge of these types of bikes--not just talkers.
