#136880 VikingWarhorse (User) American by birth-Viking by blood Gold Boarder Posts: 907 WOW..adds up FAST! 3 Years, 6 Months ago   Was just sitting around calculating how much cash I spent on accessories and goodies for the bike. Now bike aint all decked out so Im sure others got a bit more invested in thier rides. But just to get it where I wanted it....minus the lowers I just remembered! (sorry dude, I forgot! I will email ya, hope ya still got 'em.)ANYWAY.. I totalled up just shy of $3500 not counting taxes and what not. I have done: Bars-cables-grips-endcaps-risercover-hypercharger-jetted-exhaust-saddlebags- tour pack- sissybar and pad-driver backrestpad-windshield and mounts-tank protector-windshield bag-passenger floorboards-luggage rack- and LED's. Im sure im forgetting to list something but thats no biggie. Adds up quick.   Logged     www.vikingwarhorse.webs.com -New trip story and pix 1/30/2010 THE HIGH COST OF LIVING AINT NOTHING LIKE THE COST OF LIVING HIGH   The administrator has disabled public write access. #136882 Questcap (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3209 Re:WOW..adds up FAST! 3 Years, 6 Months ago   Don't think of those as expenses... they are "investments" when you consider the return you are getting!   Logged     Sig pic deleted - larger than 450 pixels and 50 kb   The administrator has disabled public write access. #136887 VikingWarhorse (User) American by birth-Viking by blood Gold Boarder Posts: 907 Re:WOW..adds up FAST! 3 Years, 6 Months ago   Thats what I told wifey when I told her I wanted hard bags and a trunk..and maybe a dual fishtail exhaust....thats a battle Im gonna have to fight this winter (I havent told her about the "true fire" paint Im looking at!)But shes good with the new shock spring and clutch I want....we'll see.

I know I could have went cheaper had I not been changing my mind all the time. If you have the discipline to map out where you want to end and stick with it. It can be a lot cheaper. I don’t have that!   Logged     \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"A mind full of judgment has little room for wisdom\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"   The administrator has disabled public write access. #136908 Questcap (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3209 Re:WOW..adds up FAST! 3 Years, 6 Months ago   Yeh, no map here... I just come here, read lots of posts, and say... Hey, I'd like to do that! Works for me. I'm not looking for huge changes. I'm into minor performance and appearance mods... subtle stuff, just to set it apart enough for others to say... "Hey, what is it about this bike... there's something different about it." And that's only for the knowing sort, so they come, take a look, and appreciate the subtlety about the minor differences.   Logged     Sig pic deleted - larger than 450 pixels and 50 kb   The administrator has disabled public write access. #136911 javawave (User) Over 17235 good days in a row and counting Platinum Boarder Posts: 5710 Re:WOW..adds up FAST! 3 Years, 6 Months ago   I started out that way, it’s the subliminal messaging that Gram puts in the code.   Logged     \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"A mind full of judgment has little room for wisdom\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"   The administrator has disabled public write access. #136916 HoustonCH73 (User) she's gone............

Platinum Boarder Posts: 1347 Re:WOW..adds up FAST! 3 Years, 6 Months ago   I think I'm going into the Roadstar online accessories business! Or at least a chroming & powder coating business. FYI - I bought my * from my brother in law. He said that the extras & bling was worth more than he was asking for the bike, which was Kelly Blue Book value. So if you want to invest, it's one thing. Don't expect to get that money back unless you find someone with deep pockets that wants your bike.   Logged     Ray   The administrator has disabled public write access.
