roadhouse duals $ 700.00
h-d hard bags used $ 700.00
h-d engine guard $ 200.00
h-d lowers for guards $ 200.00
painting cost $ 500.00
$3000.00 total
have no loan on the roadstar!

If you love your bike, and the lack of a monthly payment, I would say go ahead and customize your ride. Who knows, if you shop around a little, you might be able to do it a little cheaper than 3k. Good luck!

It's all in what you are looking for.
I like a custom bike .... something that is different from the one beside me ..... so if I bought an HD I'd still rip it apart.

Keep yours. You will end up spending more adding chrome, pipes... on a new bike anyways plus you will have the payments. Just my .02

I just got an Electra Glide and Kinda wish I had bought another * and done the fairing to it. It's not as smooth or as fast as the *. HD's are over rated. I also knew my * in and out that makes a difference as well.

There is nothing like customizing your scoot and make it the way YOU want it. There is not much personalization remaining with the HD/SG or the HD/UC at that price. They all look pretty much the same... an HD. Our Road Stars can be whatever you want them to be and at a significant savings. I like my *.  And I am not yet done with the mods either...

First off your better converting yours. It's way cheaper.
Second any one who says H.D. parts cost more are full of ____! Sorry but there are more aftermarket companies out there for H.D. plus there are so many H.D's out there that there are tons of used parts that can be used on a R*. If you weigh the cost of converting vs a new bike there is no comparison. If you decide to convert let me know I will sell you an H.D. highway bar for half of what you posted of $200.00.
SORRY This is off topic!
Crash369 how in the world do you feel that the R* is smoothier then the harley? Are you comparing idle smoothness?

Drive the HD and you would have your answer...I think the roady is a better bike allround but I wouldn't convert it...I would buy the HD if I liked the style that much.....Yep, I would buy the Hog if I wanted a touring bike...As a cruiser I wouldn't trade my R* for anything..
